If you leave earlier than the date in the contract:

• you normally remain responsible for rent until the end of the fixed period, unless:

  • the landlord agrees in writing to end the contract earlier, or

  • a new tenant is found and accepted under the conditions agreed with the landlord.

Early departure without agreement can be considered a breach of contract and may lead to:

• the landlord keeping part or all of your deposit, and

• a request to pay the remaining rent for the agreed period.

Always check the termination / early exit section of your contract before making decisions.
