Early Terminating

Whilst it usually is rare to terminate a tenancy early, we understand that sometimes situations and circumstances can cause your stay with us to be cut short of the intended end date.

If you need to end your tenancy early, this is called an early termination and requires an addendum to your tenancy agreement to end the fixed-term tenancy at a mutual date.

Please note that as your tenancy is a "fixed-term" tenancy, this means you are still liable for the full rent, bills, and other associated charges under your contract until a new tenancy has signed their agreement and taken over liability for the rest of the tenancy's term

The process of terminating a tenancy early is outlined below, but please note that it is liable to change depending on an individual case basis.

1

Contact us via tenants@sam.properties to discuss your reasons for wanting to leave the tenancy early, so we can ask the landlord on your behalf

2

If the landlord was to agree to a tenant request to early terminate,  there would be a £498.00 (inclusive of VAT) charge for processing the Tenancy Agreement per tenancy. All tenants would need to sign a "Request to Terminate" letter.

3

Any new tenant(s) taking over will be subject to the same referencing and guarantor procedures that you undertook at the start of your tenancy. If we deem they do not meet the required references, we will not proceed with their tenancy.

4

Once the replacement tenant(s) have been found and everyone is ready to switch the tenancies over, we will send an amended contract to the new and remaining tenants and arrange a key collection appointment once all paperwork and payments have been confirmed.

5

We will arrange a move-out inspection for the spare room/flat and confirm if there may be any charges deducted for any tenant(s) who are leaving.

6

The tenant(s) leaving will be sent an "Early Termination Addendum Clause" to officially confirm their liability for the contract has ended.

7

Any Tenancy Liability forms will be sent out, which they need to sign and return to us. Once received, we will begin the deposit return process for anyone who has left the tenancy.

Please note: Your landlord has ultimate decision over whether to allow an early termination or not, when a fixed-term tenancy is in effect
