Eviction notice + Leaving early

You can just not pay it...nothing the landlord can effectively due in 6 months.

They can't make that stipulation.

Really simple here. The rent is for the entire property not an individual basis. As a group you are responsible for the ENTIRE rent. If somebody moves out before the end they should continue paying the rent they are obliged to pay. If the person leaving is refusing to pay the remaining group have to cover the rent but can bring a small court claim against that person.

As the idea of a short term let, who wants to stay such a brief time? They can't stop a short term lease as such but they don't have to accept who you find.

This is where you stand legally but I am sure others will mention the lack of enforcement.

Have you seen their rental contract?

The law changed you don't need a rental agreement as you get a standard set of rights and obligations

Do you each pay the landlord your portion directly, or does one person collect all the rent and pay it in one go?

I think a decent landlord would be reasonable here. He is asking you to leave so if you fund alternative housing that meets your needs why would he block you taking it

I agree. You are either giving back the house or you are not. Until it is given back then the house commands the full rent payable.

Can you explain why somebody in control of a property should not pay full rent?

It is the people leaving that should continue to pay the rent that is the point

Not how it works I am afraid. You misunderstand what under control means. They are in possession which mean under their control. Tenants do not have the right to move people in and out as they choose. Who is going to want to move in for a couple of months? How long will it take them to find them?

The landlord is not putting in restriction they exist as part of the rules. The group of people rent the property they as a whole are responsible for the rent. Landlords are in no way obliged to sort out the dynamic and agreements within that group. Rent is for the property and the group are responsible. One othat group doesn't pay the remaining group must pay the shortfall and then they can go after the non payments on the individual. That is how the law works even without a contract.

This is the adult world where somebody pays and the view the landlord should doesn't make any sense to me. Can you explain how they should given the group agreed to rent the entire property and not a room from the landlord. Do you think that would work in a hotel or restaurant?

If the group agreed to rent the entire property then they should pay for the entire property. They should also be allowed to propose a replacement tenant yet the landlord is refusing this.

However can you show where the OP has stated that they agreed to rent the entire property and that they dont just rent a room? You have no idea on the actual conditions the OP rents under yet are fully confidant that what you say is correct.

By moving in together they made that agreement whether you want to believe that or not. They changed the law so after 6 months the rules apply regardless of contract.

As I said who wants to move in short term? Where will they get them? How will the vet them? Afte six months the tenant has rights so it would always have to be shorter than 6 months.

The tenants still have to give a full valid notice just like a landlord. No mention of any kind of notice from the tenants

Is your only stumbling block the fact the landlord won't accept a short term tenant? If that was not an issue you would agree full rent is due?

Do you think it would be a fair situation for tenants and landlords that any time the correct notice is given on a shared place that some random person can be moved in to the place so that one tenant can avoid their financial responsibilities?

There actually is - basically why civil courts exist....

Ill make this a bit more clear. If they agreed as a group to rent the entire property then they should pay for the entire property. If one moves out then they should have the option of replacing them.

You seem to be presuming that in this case everyone in the house moved in together and agreed to rent the entire place. I see nowhere this mentioned. All I see is the OP said this.

if they moved in as a group i would expect them to say "when we moved in".

Your posts are correct if they all moved in as a group and agreed to be jointly and severely liable for the whole rent. But i do not see how you can say that is definitely the case in this situation based on the info provided.

The minute they moved in they became part of a group. Nothing to do with if they moved in at the same time. That is where you are failing to understand. When you move in to a shared place you are agreeing to be jointly responsible.

I point to where I asked you questions about the fairness on tenants and landlords with random people moving in. I am answering you and you are not answering the questions I put to you. Could you do me the courtesy of fully replying to the questions I asked you so I can understand what you are saying?
