Did you pay a deposit?
If so,then you may have to fight for its return (less the £150).
But do not do anything about it until you are out.

Originally posted by leaseholder64 View Postif the answers are yes, no, and no, you probably do have an AST and a rogue landlord.
But since it's the tenant wanting to leave early, rather than the landlord wanting to evict it doesn't really matter in this case.

Thank you for the help!
Yeah this is my main home, the landlord doesn’t live there and nope it’s not special housing.
So, by the sounds of it I can just give them the £150 and be done with it, as they’ve stated themselves on the agreement that they don’t class this as an AST, even though it likely is and as they haven’t stated a notice period it should be fine to leave before six months is up, even if there is no tenant lined up? I just don’t want them to claim I have 5 months left of owed rent!

Is this your main home?
Does the landlord live in the same property?
Is this special housing in some other way?
if the answers are yes, no, and no, you probably do have an AST and a rogue landlord.
On the other hand, if they are prepared to let you buy yourself out for only £150, you should probably take that option and not worry about it too much,, for an AST, you can't give notice that ends before the six months, and thereafter it will be 1 month,rounded up to the next rental period.

Ending Tenancy Early
Hi,
I’ve recently moved into shared accommodation and just wanted a little clarification with regards my tenancy agreement, if possible!
the agreement says it is neither an assured tenancy agreement nor an assured shorthold tenancy agreement, does this mean it’s classed as a fixed term agreement? its for 6 months initially then changes to rolling month to month.
Nowhere in the agreement does it state how much notice I have to give prior to wanting to move out, and it does state “if the tenant moves out prior to the natural expiration of this agreement, a relet levy of £150 will be charged to the tenant”
Now the the reason why I’m asking is I’ve been offered a new job, just after moving in and it’s a fair distance away. I have a feeling I’m going to want to move closer to work pretty quickly. Am I right in thinking that if for whatever reason I needed to move out before the end of the 6 month agreement, I would just need to pay £150? Or would I still be liable for the rent for however many months are left?
Sorry if this is all common sense/knowledge, it’s my first renting experience!
thanks in advance for any help!

by jpkeatesI imagine that it's going to take a while to get your head round this, but there is no guaranteed way to achieve what you want.
You can either rent your property to your friends or you can retrieve your property when you return to the UK.
You can't do both with any certainty.

by TippyI cannot find a definitive answer to my question by googling so here goes.
I have a house that I wish to allow a family who are close friends to live in while I live abroad as UK non-resident. I am trying to work out what sort of contract I should make between us.
I don't mind...-

by BerlingogirlIt’s been said many times that it’s a bad idea to let to friends or family.
That being said if your electrics are iffy then it might be an idea to invest in getting them fixed for the safety of your tenants and your own peace of mind.
A written contract is a good idea as it. Sets out...-

by HooperNot sure anyone can provide much more feedback until you gets answers from the landlord.
With the pipe tight in against a stud they may have needed to open up further to find the fixings that allow them to loosen the pipe sufficiently to get a repair joint on. Looks like an awkward plasterboard...-

by fpyardsI moved out of a flat a few days ago. While I was in the flat there was a leak due to a punctured pipe in a wall cavity that the landlord is claiming a deduction from our deposit for repairing.
The total cost being claimed is £492.50 for the plumber's work and £180 to repair the wall....-

by PlumbobWe have literally just relet our bungalow. The agent who handled the new let and the previous one, which only lasted a year due to the tenant having to go to a care home, asked for the initial inspection report from 10 years ago to apparently check against the new one done in May 21 . The whole place...

by jpkeatesWhat is being described is not a contractual periodic tenancy, because in a contractual periodic tenancy the terms relating to ending the tenancy remain in force.
You are falling victim to the same English/legal terminology issue, where "tenancy" has two slightly different meanings,...-
