Why is it your responsbility to find a replacement tenant? Surely it should be the remaining tenants issue. Also, sounds like the £4oo charge should be for the new tenant.
jakemcree-
Agreed, it seems a bit backwards, but technically if I just leave and they dont give notice on leaving the house, I'll still be responsible to cover the rent as I;m on the lease...
I think?

the £400 charge is for anyone silly enough to sign a contract that says they incur a £400 charge for 4-5 hours of administrative work.

Looking for some advice.
I live in a 5 person houseshare, our contract is up in November, and after almost two years I'm very ready to live in a smaller, less hectic environment.
My housemates have mostly decided they want to stay, one is moving out but doing a straight swap with another person in the houses friend. Simple (although they are incurring #2).
I have now began the process of leaving when the contract ends. However a few things seem to be in my way.
1 - Housemates say i need to find someone to replace me (they dont want to do it, but I also have to find someone 'suitable')
2 - Our agency charge £400 for a change of tennant
This all seems kind of annoying because well, my contract is up on november 14th. Obviously its a whole house thing, but it seems as though i basically cant leave without fulfilling 1 & 2, is there any other way>
