lease

[andrew1446]

i live with friends, and have a lease till the 1st of july, but wont to move out now as the landlard hasnt fitted locks to our doors, and people are sleping in my room when im not there!

is it possible to get out of the lease?

 Do you share the house with the landlord? Or do you jointly rent a shared house? Who's letting the other people in through the front door?

It may be that your lease is void, but it depends on the answers to questions like these - there are rules as to different types of tenancies, what the landlord can and can't do etc.

Andrew if I can remember I think the best thing you could do is advertise privately (college/work noticeboards?) for a new tenant, that way the landlord can't really complain if you leave.

it may be of some use.  Good luck whatever.

Why not just put locks on your rooms?

i live with 3 friends, none related.  the landlord doesnt stay there.  it is the flatmates that let people in.  as far as i was aware though, it is law that if renting out to more than one unrelated, locks have to be fitted to your bedroom doors.
