Hope someone can help me here.
Renting a house for nearly 3 years. The owner has told us over a month ago that they are selling down house but with the way the property market is at the moment, he said it might not sell until at least Christmas. Once we heard that the house was being put for sale we have been looking everyday for something suitable as we do not want auctioneers traipsing through the house with people when we are at work. The landlord has our initial deposit and the rent is due on the first of each month.
We found somewhere ideal yesterday and ready to move into at the start of the second week of July so we placed deposits on it yesterday. We now have to inform our present landlord of this. The landlord is not PRTB registered. We have had a few disputes with them over the few years, minor wnough though. How can this be handled as we have been told that we are obliged to give 56 days notice thus meaning that we must pay 2 further months rent while living in the new place. Surely there is some solution to this especially when the present house we are in is for sale.
Anybody with any ideas or solutions, I would be grateful please.
Thanks
