Bluntly put we are possibly going to be owning a house and paying rent on a second property. The rent will only be for a month and we will only have a months binding contract. I may want to end my contract and sounding out any problems.
I appreciate at a minimum I lose my deposit. But with professional carpet cleaning, council tax and unmetered water charge I may actually make money as soon as they decide to start knocking money off for dusty light bulbs etc.
Can I default in a civilised manner and get away with it? The owners take the chance of getting someone in earlier.
