Hi,
I am in a 6 months AST. Which ends in June. The landlord 'had' sold the house and asked me if I would move early so he didn't lose his sale.
I have found a new place and am moving next week.
The landlord's sale has now fallen through and he's said I can stay.
After a lot of thought I've decided to still move because they may 'sell' the house from under us again and I don't really want to live with it hanging over us.
The new place I have found is a long term tenancy.
Anyway to cut a long story short the landlord is now insisting I pay the last months rent even though he asked me to leave early. I have nothing in writting but he also told the agent that I could leave.
I'm not going to pay him the last months rent so he is going to try and claim it out of the bond.
Will he win, even though he asked me to leave and informed the agent I could leave early?
Thanks for the help/advise.
