Bascially I've signed a 10 month contract and pre-dated cheques until this ends for my rented flat. I want to move out for a fair few reasons....the main one to save around £400 a month!
Anyhow, basically i'm not allowed to stop paying until i get someone to move into my room and take over my contract. As I want to move now this is a pain as I dont want to be paying for a room im not using.
My folks reckon I should just cancel the cheques and let them keep my deposit (one months rent) so that gives them 6 weeks PAID rent to find someone for my room....
I'm really not sure where I stand, im obviously binded with the contract... but whats the worse they could do? I guessing court to get me to pay the rest of the rent? But would they? My mum is the guarantor and obviously i'm not wanting to get the house blacklisted etc...
I've rang the landlord and explained the situation, but I doubt he's gonna let me off, he should be ringing tommorow.
Any experiences, suggestions would be gratefull
