Hi all,
Figured someone must have gone through something similar so any advice would be appreciated.
Basically my tenancy runs out on the 27th April after being in the property for a year. I've received a communication from 'Romans' the letting agency asking basically if I want to renew (with a fee!! ) or if I intend to vacate the property at the end of the contract.
It then goes onto say "Should you wish to Terminate your tenancy, then we will require the relevant notice to quit, in writing, as per your tenancy agreement"
Now it does state that two months notice should be given to terminate the tenancy however I'm not terminating, I'm just leaving after the 12 month period I've singed for.
Now the only reference I can find to this is in a document entitled 'Tenants guide" by Romans:
"If you wish to terminate your tenancy then two months written notice must be given in accordance with the tenantcy agreement. If either party do not wish to renew a tenancy then towards the end of an tenancy the tenant will be contacted to arrange an appointment for the check-out"
So to me it would suggest that they're going to ask me to pay an adittional two months rent because I've not yet served them notice, yet I'm not asking to terminate the tenancy, I'm simply waiting for the contract to expire and then not renewing?
So legally can I just tell them right now that I don't intend to renew and will be vacating the property on the 27th April. I shouldn't be told I have to stay another 2 months right? Since I've paid in advanced up to the 27th April I shouldn't give them any more rent?
Really appreciate any help.
I can supply relevant sections of my tenancy agreement if It would clear anything up.
