milliem Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi Folks Two weeks ago I instructed my agent I wanted to break lease. They advertised the property. My neighbours told me today that on Wednesday last week there were about six real estate agents in the property without my knowledge. It looks like the current agent has been given the sack. Does this leave me just paying the rent for another 3 months? do I have any rights at all? The new agent has advised me to make a claim at the court to seek an order for a settlement figure. Anyone have any experience of this? Millie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjez Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 As far as I an aware - no one has the right to enter the property without your consent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readstogo Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Have a good read of your lease agreement. Look for break of tenancy clause, and the one that mentions living without landlord/agent turning up without due notice. Sometimes they hide a condition that states if you give notice that you have to let them show the property to prospective tenants. However, you still should be given ample nnotice that someone will be coming round. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am worried about the fact that it was being advertised and now it isn't. I am waiting for a response from the agent. Millie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blossom Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Maybe you could get onto them and say that you assume as advertising has ceased that they have found a new tennent to take over the lease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milliem Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Phew Finally a response. it wasn't other agents after all but prospective tenants from the existing agent. Some notification of people coming would have been nice. Anyhow can't complain too much as they found new tenants, meaning I don't have to pay two rents. They move in six days after we leave. Thanks for your help all Millie x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
