You don't have to do 1.
2 isn't really your problem because you are leaving.
That said, how much do you value continued good relations with existing housemates?
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...
You individually give notice to the landlord. The contract is up, you are done with it.

I don't want to fuck anyone over, but I don't care if they're annoyed at me.. if that makes sense.
Im also worried because I don't know how easy it will be to find someone to take this room. My room is twice the size of everyone elses and the price reflects that, but its a 5 bed house that is now in a state of.. less than glorious, in a not particularly nice area..
I don't think it will be easy. And i know my other housemates won't pay any more to get someone in, they'll make it my problem.

So you reckon I should just call the letting agency and tell them I'm leaving, independent of what everyone else is doing?

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>
