    So as the title suggests, in May I signed a 6 month lease. Now however I would like to terminate the lease early. Is this possible with enough notice? I want to check if there's any regulation or rule that is industry standard etc.
    Or is it a case of landlords say only.
    Was originally living with gf, broke up, so don't/can't pay 90EUR a week.
    Thanks

    What does your lease say? Is there a break clause?

    We weren't given a copy of one. Landlord is a bit... ditzy I'll say

    It would be surprising to see a break clause in a six month lease but without a copy you can't be sure. If there isn't one you can seek permission from your landlord to reassign the lease. Might be worth just asking if you can end the lease early first though, it might suit the landlord.

    Okay so there is no "If I give 31 days notice he has to" sort of rule? Everyone around here is local and I know him so might hope for a good break.
    Thanks for that.

    No, if you have a fixed term lease it depends on the conditions of the lease. You are not in the property long enough to have gained part iv tenancy rights.
