Thanks Joa
Before he moved in the landlord stated he only odes two year contracts nothing less so yes he was intending to rent for 24months.
I cant see anywhere about an early break clause. The only thing mentioned is (11) but im not privy to the Party Wall Act whatever that is.
Contract states as follows:
1. The landlord lets the property to the tenant for the Term at the Rent payable as £xxx
2. This agreement creates an assured shorthold tenancy with Part I Chapter II of the Housing Act 1988. This means that when the Term expires the Landlord can recover possession as set out in section 21 of that Act unless the Landlord gives the Tenant a notice under paragraph 2 of Schedule 2A to that Act.
3. If the property burns down or the Tennant cannot live in it because of fire damage, the rent will cease to be payable until the property is rebuilt or repaired so that the Tenant can live there again. Any dispute about whether this clause applies must be submitted to arbitration under Part I of the Arbitration Act 1996.
4. The Tenant agrees with the landlord -
(1) to pay the rent as set out above
(2) (a) to pay any council tax which the Tenant is obliged to pay under the local Government Finance Act 1992 or any regulations under that Act.
(b) To indemnify the landlord inrespect of any council tax which (during the tenancy) the landlord becomes obliged to pay under that Act or those regulations because the Tenant ceases to live at the property.
(3) To pay for all gas, electricity, water and sewerage services supplied to the property during the tenancy and to pay all charges for the use of any telephone at the property during the tenancy. Where necessary, teh sums demanded by the service provider will be apportioned according to the duration of the tenancy. The sums covered by this clause include standing charges or other similar charges and VAT as well as charges for actual consumption.
(4)To keep the drains, gutters and pipes of the property clear, the chimneys swept and the garden neat.
(5) To keep the interior of the Property, the internal decorations and the fixtures, furniture and effects in good repair and condition (except for damage caused by accidential fire and except for anything which the landlord is liable to repair under this Agreement or by law) and to replace if necessary any items of the fixtures, furniture and effects which have been damaged or destroyed.
(6) To allow the landlord or anyone with the landlords written authority to enter the property at reasonable times of the day to inspect its condition and state of repair, if the landlord has given 24hours written notice beforehand.
(7) To use the property as a private dwelling house only. This means the Tenant must not carry on any profession, trade or business at the Property and must not allow anyone else to do so.
(
Not to alter or add to the property or do or allow anyone else to do anything on the property which might increase the fire insurance premium.
(9) Not to do or allow anyone else to do anything on the property which may be a nuisance to, or cause damage or annoyance to, the landlord or the tenants or occupiers of any adjoining premises
(10) Not to assign or sublet the property and not to part with possession of the property in any other way
(11) To give the landlord a copy of any notice given under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 within seven days of receiving it and not to to anything as a result of the notice unless required to do so by the landlord.
(12) At the end of the term or earlier if the tenancy comes to an end more quickly to deliver the property up to the landlord in the condition it should be in if the Tenant has performed the Tenants obligation under this agreement.
(13) Not to remove any of the fixtures, furniture and effects from the property and to leave the furniture and effects at the end of the tenancy where they were at the beginning
(14) During the last twenty eight days of the tenancy to allow the landlord or the landlords agents to enter and view the property with prospective tenants at reasonable times of the day.
5. If the tenant -
(1) is at least 14 days late in paying the rent or any part of it, whether or not the rent has been formally demanded, or
(2) has broken any of the terms of this agreement
then, subject to any statutory provisions, the landlord may recover possession of the property and the tenancy will come to an end. Any other rights or remedies the landlord may have will remain in force.
6. The landlord agrees with the tenant -
(1) that the tenant has the right to possess an enjoy the property during the tenancy without any interruption from the landlord or any person claiming through or in trust for the landlord. But:
(a) this clause does not limit any of the rights under this agreement which the tenant has agreed to allow the landlord to exercise;
(b) this clause does not prevent the landlord from taking lawful steps to enforce his rights against the tenant if the tenant breaks any of the terms of this agreement.
(2) to pay and indemnify the tenant against all charges in respect of the property except those which by the terms of this agreement the tenant has expressly agreed to pay.
7. If section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 applies to the tenancy, the tenants obligations are subject to the effect of that section.
8. Where the context admits -
(1) the landlord includes the successors to the original landlord
(2) the tenant includes the successors to the original tenant
(3) the property includes any part of the property or the fixtures, furniture and effects.
And thats it, bit long winded but iv typed word for word. It doesnt state any notice period to be given to the landlord that i can see
