Check the rental agreement to see if it includes a break clause.Can anyone give me any advice about ending a lease early? I've caught my boyfriend on dating sites numerous times and 2 months after we have moved in together I have caught him again. I'm a fucking mug. He's not on the lease, it's just in my name only but it's my first time renting and I'm not sure if I could get out of it early or not??
Sorry that's a bit garbled I'm just not doing well.
Yeah but the rent is still the same and might just be too much for 1 person.Omg I didn’t read it properly sorry. If the Tenancy is in your name only he’s technically a lodger so you can kick him out and change the locks
How long was the original tenancy agreement you signed? If it was 6 months unfortunately you are contractually bound to another 4 months, unless the landlord is particularly nice and will release you early. It's worth asking at least.
Kick out the boyfriend. If it's a 2 bed could you get a lodger to help out with the rent?
Thank youHey. Are you in England? Is it an assured shorthold tenancy? What’s the term. Also does your bf know you want to leave? Sorry for all the questions... if it’s in England I can help. PM me if you want (if you don’t want to give details out here )
I will look on Facebook to see if there are any groups and talk to my landlord tomorrow. Unfortunately seeing as my boyfriend is here today I cannot really do much.I'm sorry to hear that.
Perhaps you can talk to your landlord and ask if you can find replacement tenants? I am on a Facebook group that advertises rooms etc in London and a few adverts are posted by people who are moving due to Covid and looking for someone else to take up the lease.
Or there might be something in your contract about a break clause where you can give a month's notice to move. Although as posted above me have said, you might need to have been there for six months or so before giving notice.
Yes, I think the best thing to do for now is talk to your landlord and come to some sort of agreement. Perhaps if you can find a replacement you can end your lease early.I will look on Facebook to see if there are any groups and talk to my landlord tomorrow.

There are reasons that the lease is in my name. Mostly because he is an illegal immigrant and does not have official ID or a bank account (I know, it just gets worse and worse but love makes you an idiot).I'd be concerned that he's made you move across country, put the apartment lease in your name, he's still using dating apps. All this is huge red flags. You are right, he won't change. He's not shown an ounce of commitment at all. He's actually trapped you there with him away from all your friends and family.
how long have you been together if you have animals together? I thought from your post this was a recent relationship since you are not long into the lease.
so sorry you're faced with thisnot sure what I'd do in the same situation. I wouldn't want to stay but I wouldn't want to be faced with paying the rent on my own in a place I didn't want to live. If you can't trust him it's going to cause you so much stress for the remainder of your relationship if you don't break it off with him.
Tomorrow is safest for me. I can wait one more night. It's mostly about the animals and their safety. He knows he needs to go but doesn't know if I can break the contract or not and he doesn't currently have anywhere to go so I want to give him a bit of time to find somewhere. He has mightily fucked me over but I don't just want to put him out on the street.Yes, I think the best thing to do for now is talk to your landlord and come to some sort of agreement.

Have you asked your boyfriend to leave the house? You said he was there, is he collecting his things? If you can wait until tomorrow that's okay, if you want to do it asap and not in front of your boyfriend is there a way you can take a little walk and call your landlord?
That's definitely an option but I want that to be a last resort and hopefully only involve the police if I need to. I also work for the police myself (not a police officer) and I don't want my dirty laundry aired to my colleagues who would be likely to see any investigations/arrests against him. Despite all his shitty behaviour I can't put him through it.If he is an illegal, can you not call the police to get him picked up?!! He will be out the way and won't be able to do owt with the animals and gives you a bit of breathing space.
