Rent confusion

Hi

I am slightly confused, so I started a tenancy agreement on 14 December 2019 and I paid a months rent in advance which was £750. January 2020 no payment was made and my first payment as taken out 14 February 2020. I have handed my notice in now to vacate 14 February 2022. My last rent payment was 14 January 2022. Does this mean I owe rent in February? Or can I leave?

Thanks

    Is this Scotland?  If not, how long was the term of the tenancy you signed, please?

    Has your notice been formally accepted?
