Gebbel,
Thats great - thanks for that. It is very interesting to read such a report, especially in relation to term leases which are broken (seems to be a very regualr occurance). It's interesting that the proprtionalised items such as the daft rental & allowed the difference in the rent the old & new tenant paid.
Overall, I think it seems like a pretty fair arrangment. I know you were helping out the tenant & said that you would not withhold a deposit in such a situation, but I think it is fair that the landlord is compensated - the rent was pitched at a level to suit a year long lease. Shorter leases generally have higher rent so as to cover the costs involved in getting a place ready to rent again (cleaning, painting, time & effort etc)
But again, thanks for going to the trouble of posting as it makes ineresting reading.
