I received an email from one of my tenants stating that she wants to terminate a one-year lease at the end of Spetember because one of the other flatmates has become unbearable to live with.
Apparently she has asked this flatmate to move out, but she has refused.
The two remaining flatmates say they have advised a lawyer about the situation and if I am not willing to let them out of the lease "they have ways to get the lease terminated".
I am living in London at present, which makes things difficult, and have entrusted the management of the property to a friend, but none of the tenants have contacted either of us about the problems that have, according to her, been going on for most of the year.
She has given me only one day to respond before sending through her terms for terminating the lease.
Legally, they are obviously committed until the end of the year, unless both parties agree on a termination. In this case,if the tenancy is ended early, is reimbursement an option? Would they be able to terminate the lease using their annoying flatmate as the reason? Would it be advisable to ask them to try and find replacement tenants?
Any ideas on the best way to deal with this would be much appreciated.
