Hello everyone, I just joined this forum and have a small problem. I'll keep it as brief as I can. I was renting a room for 6 months in a private accommodation and recently moved to a different city. The problem is that my previous landlord is now requesting me to pay £200 or to find a replacement to rent out the room... and on top of that he gets to keep the deposit of £200. Now I gave him about 2 weeks notice before I moved out and never actually signed the contract which I did see in electronic form.We only ever agreed that I will stay for 9 months in verbal form. I am ok with him keeping the deposit,but do I really have to pay the extra money? He is threatening to take legal action and I don't really know what to do. Would really appreciate if you could shed some light on this matter. Thank you.
