hey guys
me and my boyfriend have split up but our lease on out room dosnt run out until october and i really cant stay here that long.
i went to the letting agents this morning to ask them and they told me that the landlord is taking the property back so i need to write him a letter explaining the situation and asking what he can do.
heres the problem, i really dont know what to write to him? i ended up crying my eyes out in the letting agents so i forgot to ask them what i should put...:no:
can anyone give me any help?

What are your contract break terms? You would normally have a one month or a two month break in there.
It's probably worth ringing the landlord up and telling him what's going on, especially if you don't have a break clause. It's only polite to ring him to tell him you're leaving, even if you don't have to give much notice.
The letter itself doesn't have to say much.
In accordance with the terms of the tenancy agreement, I hereby give you [x] month(s) notice of my intention to quit the property. I will be leaving the property on [x].
If you don't understand your tenancy agreement, your local CAB or your student advice centre can help.
i need to get out of there asap - its torture having to still live there with him.
If you can scan it I can have a quick look. Otherwise get yourself down the CAB.
