Tenants want to end contract within the fixed term
My tenants signed a fixed term (1 year) tenancy agreement 2 months ago and now I have been served notice from them that they want to end the contract and therefore will be moving out in 2 months.
The reason the tenants are serving the notice is due to ‘breach of covenant of quiet enjoyment’, which is being caused by a third party (building work by a developer and a barking guard dog owed by a security company), not by myself directly. However, I have taken this forward with the developer and reported this to the local council on the tenants’ behalf but they’ve decided to move out nonetheless, although I offered to reduce the rent.
This is a breach of contract and surely they can’t do this. What are the necessary legal procedures I need to follow to retrieve the remaining rent that would have been due to me and how will I be able to track them after they have moved?
Thanks.
Talk soon,
