Assured shorthold tenancy help 09:42 - Jan 6 with 2422 views | Bucks_Ranger | I'm in one for two years which im trying to get out of early, (7 months left) however no break clause in contract and landlord being an arse, anyone know a valid reason I can use to get out of it? I have just bought a house and cannot afford a double monthly outlay, the house also has many damp and draft issues and only a handful of radiators work ?? Any help would be much appreciated - thanks in advance. |  | | |  |

However, if the landlord is able to get a new tenant in quickly you may be able to do a deal to pay him two or three months. That would at least save you 4-5 months. He could start marketing it on that basis but depends how reasonable he is. |  | |  |

Can't really do this unless you have a buy to let mortgage, legally at least. |  | |  |
