The landlord has said no to one person moving out because of the tenancy agreement which in this country are drafted to protect the rights of the landlord and NOT the renter. We cannot have a new agreement drafted up as we're only here until September, had this happened before xmas it would have been do-able, but it still would have cost us our £700 deposits.
We're NOT paying her rent - we each pay £333 a month out of our own individual accounts straight to the landlord. When she's skipped out on rent payments he has chased HER and NOT us, although ultimately if she doesnt pay up, he has to kick ALL of us out.
I can't lie about a drug problem, because they'll test her, simple as. If she passes the test, all it shows is that we lied.
Rich and I have already spoken to the landlord about terminating the lease, but there is no breach of contract committed in the eyes of the agency that leased it to us, yes, i know the rent that got skipped out on, but that isnt enough to kick someone out. When the landlord DOES want to kick us out, he apparrently has to give us minimum of 2 months notice. Likewise if we all agreed among us that we're moving out and terminating the lease from OUR side, we lose a £700 deposit each and have to give the landlord 2 months notice as well.
And what am i supposed to take video's of?
