How to I negotiate an early surrender from a tenancy?

How to I negotiate an early surrender from a tenancy?

Posted on February 15, 2023

I have a one year fixed term with no break clause but due to change in my job location I have to vacate the house, now the LL is asking me to pay the rent for the full term and also half of the fees that he has spent on securing a new tenant. My question is how do I legally avoid to pay the rent for the remaining term

Public Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.

You may wish to enter into negotiations with the agents or landlord to secure an early surrender and to minimise rent liability for the remainder of the contract. There are options available that you may be able to apply to strengthen your negotiating position and we suggest you contact the firm in order to discuss the merits.

Nollienne Alparaque gave me some short, sharp advice on a difficult property matter which was pragmatic and commercial and really helpful. Sheh was a sympathetic ear too. I was impressed. Case Workers: Nollienne Alparaque
Nollienne and Tia, I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional legal support you provided during a highly challenging period of my life. Your professionalism, expertise, and empathetic approach truly made a significant difference, and I am compelled to share my experience with others who may seek your guidance. This was the first time I had to consult legal advice due to a dispute with a difficult landlord, the situation was exacerbated by the fact that it coincided with a time of profound personal loss and bereavement. Your unwavering dedication to my case, combined with your genuine empathy and understanding of my circumstances, provided me with the comfort and assurance I needed during an emotionally tumultuous time. Nollienne, your wealth of legal knowledge and strategic insights were instrumental in navigating the complexities of the dispute. Your ability to communicate legal intricacies in a clear and understandable manner ensured that I was well-informed and empowered throughout the process. Your commitment to achieving the best possible outcome was evident in every step we took. Tia, your compassionate and caring demeanour helped alleviate the stress and anxiety that often accompanies legal matters. Your genuine concern for my well-being was truly heartwarming and provided me with the reassurance that my family and I were in capable hands. Your ability to balance professionalism with personal care is a rare and invaluable trait that I deeply appreciate. Together, both of you make an incredible team, and your combined efforts exceeded my expectations in every way. Your dedication to resolving my dispute and ensuring the safety of my family and I was evident from the beginning and I am immensely grateful for the positive resolution we achieved. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for not only your exceptional legal guidance but also for the kindness and empathy you demonstrated throughout this challenging journey. Your support has left a lasting impression on me, and I was truly fortunate to have had you by my side during this difficult time. In the nicest way possible, I sincerely hope that I won't find myself in a similar situation in the future. However, should the need ever arise, there is no doubt that you will be the first people I turn to for legal assistance. I wish both of you nothing but the best, personally and professionally. May your dedication and expertise continue to bring positive change to the lives of those you assist. Thank you once again for your exceptional service, and I am sending my warmest regards to both of you. Case Workers: Tia Rose
Highly recommend OTS Solicitors if you have an issue regarding your tenancy. Nollienne Alparaque was incredibly helpful at finding a solution to the problem I had with my landlord/tenancy. Obviously, I hope I won't have to contact her again but if I do, I'll ask for Nollienne for sure! Case Workers: Nollienne Alparaque
I had a legal dispute with my Landlord regarding disrepair issues which was concluded successfully. Nollienne was very helpful and effective in putting my case forward. Couldn’t have asked for a better service! Tia was also very helpful at the start of the claim. Thank you OTS! Case Workers: Nollienne Alparaque
