    Hi currently after finishing my first year in Uni and along with two of my friends we signed a year long lease in September.We want to break the lease and forfeit our deposit.We let the landlord know during April that we intended on moving out at the end of April.However we have been pestered over the last few days with calls and texts from the landlord saying that we have signed a lease and therefore can't break it?Is this true?We have also debated paying May's rent and let the deposit cover June's rent leaving him with two months rent,however we are afraid he may do the same all over again.Is there any way we could get out of our lease or are we stuck in it for the 12 months,we do not want our deposit back.Thanks in advance for all your help.

    See can you get someone to take over the lease. Leaving the landlord happy and you with your deposit back.
    Not sue how legal the lease is but if it is you owe until the end of it. He could come looking for it through the small claims court or something like that but I doubt he'd bother.

    We don't do advice, and particularly on something that specific.

    Read the lease.

    The PRTB is your next port of call for information.
