    Thanks for sharing your musings and ramblings with us which are interesting to read...

    ...but the bottom line remains that they are diddly squat to do with the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.

    Even if they were true, none would have any relevance when you were hauled before the court for non-payment of rent.

    Thanks, but what is the chance of a landlord  going to legal proceedings, when  they can just keep the runaway's deposit, and keep their pre-payed rent, and just  re-let the flat to someone else?

    Probably lower than the chance of them giving an honest review of the contract breaker to the next prospective landlord when they come asking, but still

    The OP doesn’t appear to take contracts seriously.  Check out their other recent thread!

    OP, you might try using google a bit more rather than posting random theoretical queries here and then taking issue with the responses you receive.

    In this case, have a look at https://england.shelter.org.uk/professional_resources/legal/renting/how_a_tenant_can_end_a_tenancy/tenant_ends_an_assured_or_assured_shorthold_tenancy
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
