Ok well i have a 6 month contract at a house and live with two other people.
Now the people i live with are unreasonable and unsociable and it has got to the point where i no longer want to be here.
I have been here for 3 months and need to get out my question is does anyone know the worst that can happen to me legally should i live before my contract ends. Its a contract we all signed and presumably they will stay when i leave.
an example of why i want to leave is because they were trying to get me to pay half the electricity bill because i have a computer on 24/7 with no proof that it will make the electric bill sky rocket. This was like an interegation and so the day after i did a little research to find out computers use very little electric and like 1/2 or a 1/3 of what the tv does for example. Since then 16 days ago one of my housemates hasnt spoken to me (oh she threatened to take me to court if i didnt pay too).
Thanks guys and gals!

That might well be, but it is better for pc's to be left on 24/7. My base unit is never switched off, but I turn my monitor off every time I leave it since they are what relaly waste the most electricity.
"does anyone know the worst that can happen to me legally should i live before my contract ends?"
Thanks
