Suitcase Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 I'm not sure of the answer to this. If a tenant signs a 12 month tenancy agreement and decides to leave without agreement before the tenancy is up. Is the tenant then responsible for the remaining rent and community charge?

Carryon Regardless Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Rent yes, but it is often better to negotiate a settlement rather than pursue the whole. We can't (legally) take rents from 2 sources for the same period. So an agreed settlement to release a tenant from the contract would avoid such a claim. By community charge do you mean council tax? If so the council will revert the charge to you from the date of departure by the tenant. While you might claim the tenant has the responsibility you would then need to pursue them for it.

Grampa Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 But if you get a new tenant the obligation on the old tenant to continually pay/be liable for rent ends as you can’t legally receive double rent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
