Hello everyone, I just joined this forum and have a small problem. I'll keep it as brief as I can.

 

I was renting a room for 6 months in a private accommodation and recently moved to a different city. The problem is that my previous landlord is now requesting me to pay £200 or to find a replacement to rent out the room... and on top of that he gets to keep the deposit of £200. Now I gave him about 2 weeks notice before I moved out and never actually signed the contract which I did see in electronic form.We only ever agreed that I will stay for 9 months in verbal form. I am ok with him keeping the deposit,but do I really have to pay the extra money? He is threatening to take legal action and I don't really know what to do. Would really appreciate if you could shed some light on this matter. Thank you.

I am sure someone will be able to help with your query, however, whilst you are waiting, you might want to make contact with Shelter - they don't just deal with homeless situations and have advisors dealing with this type of thing.

 

I have posted the link for the website above, there may well be something in their FAQ's. If you need to telephone them though, you might have to wait until Monday. But check on the site.

Give us some tenancy dates & details, eg length of fixed term (6,9,12 mo), whether AST states rent due monthly in advance, AST date for for rent due.

A verbal (unsigned) contract is valid for a fixed term of 3 yr or less.
