Trying to end tenancy agreement

maz02 · 2025-06-20 16:31:22

My son and their partner have a baby they are in a fixed term tenancy which ends in April next year . They are really struggling financially and mentally to stay in this house. They want to move back with parents. There is no break clause and the agency will not help . Is there any advice someone e could give me please.

I'm not sure that's the badge of honour you think it is.
Having been on both sides - as a Landlord and a Tenant, ARLA are only interested in their members interests.

Yes, I pay a fee to keep the Tenant off my back. But ultimately, if it goes the way of the pear, it's not the agent that has to take the tenant to court. It's not the agent's insurance that is null and void when the place gets flooded. It's not the agent that has to pay the mortgage, despite not having a tenant in place.
