bob20 said:Just to qualify, I have found new rented accommodation and move to it 2 weeks after I was given notice to leave,As has been pointed out several times, you have NOT "been given notice to leave" since a LL CANNOT end a tenancy. You have presumably been served a S21 Notice. ....?which is this week (I can't negotiate to delay this date by 2 weeks with the new LL, because I've already signed a new AST).OK. (unless of course the new LL agrees.....)I had assumed (possible incorrectly) that when my current LL serves notice (which is for 2 months), I could leave at any time within that 2 month period and only have to pay rent up to the date I leave,Indeed, your assumption was incorrect unless of course your LL agrees.but he says I must pay for 1 months' rent after he served notice,He's wrong. You must pay rent until eithera) YOU serve notice and your notice expiresb) a COURT ends the tenancy, orc) you and the LL AGREE something differentbecause I somehow need to serve notice on him.This doesn't feel right to me,Nevertheless it IS right.but I'm no expert and the AST agreement doesn't specifically mention that case.A tenancy agreement cannot specifically mention every case, especially when the LAW makes it clear......Have you read the link I gave you?macman said:....
canaldumidi is correct to point out that I should have stated calendar months, not weeks.No you should probably have stated 'tenancy period', though we still don't know if this is a Contractual or Statutory Period tenancy.If Statutory, notice is one full tenancy period, which could be up to around 7 weeks dependng on the precise dates involved.If Contractual, and the contract states: "One calender month" then yes, it's a calender month. But it's common for Contracts to also require notice to align with the tenancy period......macman - both you and the OP need to read the link!OP - you need to also answer the questions asked (assuming you want reliable advice).
