This was a fixed term tenancy expiring on 25 January 2024. The landlord released the tenant from the tenancy once the property was rented to a new tenant.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing to the date on which a new tenancy started. Break fee
It is appropriate that the landlord be compensated for its costs in finding a new tenant. The landlord was under no legal obligation to release the tenant from the fixed term contract and I am satisfied by the breakdown of the expenses charged that they are fair and reasonable. Lawns
The landlord provided photographic evidence that the lawns needed mowing from the date of the tenant vacating the property until a new tenant moved in.
