My sister has been renting a place for the last 8 month sbut now wants to leave.
She originally sgned a 12 month contract.
She has given the landlord a months notice but it looks like he isn't happy and she reckons he will possibly keep her deposit as compensation.
So - legally is she allowed break the lease giving a months notice ?
Is the landlord entitled to come after her for the outstading 4 months rent? (Obviously he presumably wouldn't bother - just wondering what the actual legalities are)
She has said the contract she signed doesn't make much reference to the tenant breaking the lease.
