You can leave any time you like, it's ending the tenancy you want. Landlord doesn't have to be helpful -agent works for landlord, not for you.
Negotiate I humbly suggest with landlord. He might get more rent on new tenancy!0 -
This was pretty effective!saajan_12 said:
I would write to the agent instructing them to market the property correctly, including changing the date and passing on all viewing requests. If they dont within 7 days, you will consider they are not actively marketing and may cause the property to not be relet in a reasonable time. For which you will be seeking the return of the marketing fee and a filing a complaint, expecting them to reimburse [x] months rent.
WARNING: This is a reasonable argument but not a slam dunk.
Thanks everyone for your help.
