A break clause usually allows you and the landlord to end the rental prematurely. However, the cost of a new tenant is a cost that the landlord would have to bear at the end of six months anyway, so it is not appropriate to calculate more than a proportional fraction of a reasonable amount in the event of a reasonable period of notice. Break literally means that you want to terminate the contract in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Hello Omega, remember that you do not need to sign an extension if you are not sure if you will stay another 6 months in the accommodation. Yes, you should resign at the beginning of month 4 and leave at the end of the fixed period in month 6. Of course, you can leave at any time, but you would still be obliged to pay the rent up to and including 6 months. 7.9.2 If the lessor wishes to terminate the rental agreement created at or any time after the expiry of the first six months, he must inform the tenant in writing of this wish at least two months in advance, then the rental contract created ends immediately after the expiry of this communication and is not valid. Let`s be clear, in Britain you cannot be evicted without a court order, if you stay in real estate when your tenancy expires, a new lease called statutory Periodic Tenancy is created. If you stay after the limited time, you have a regular rental agreement.

Check the notification you need to give if you have a regular rental agreement. We haven`t gotten the contract yet because we tried to see if we could get a better deal while delaying everything. I`m not sure I understood all that. We told them that we would accept a one-year fixed-term contract with a two-month break clause. What exactly are these two months? Does this mean that the minimum duration is also 2 months? Or can they always set a minimum duration of six months? 2 months notice simply means that if you are allowed to leave (via other clauses), you must terminate 2 months in advance, but as I said, if the contract expires in 2 months, it is anyway only a clause of hope. For someone who has suggested having some form of legal expertise, you are very careless with accuracy. In the event that the tenant wishes to renounce the rental without the agreement of the lessor, the tenant is contractually obliged to pay the rent for the entire duration of the fixed term. If the landlord wants the tenant to evacuate prematurely, while the tenant has no interest, the landlord cannot put the property in reserve prematurely for no reason for evacuation.. . . .
