TJ, I refer you to the point where you stated
She can only sue for losses and she gets the deposit plus the months notice so the losses are only 3 months assuming she does not get new tenants – which shwe has to attempt to do so..
Not worth while suing I would have thought
Losses of only 3 months….sure, the owner can get a new tenant in, but the point is that the tenants have a contract for 6 months. They signed up in good faith, as did the landlord. There’s no break clause in a standard 6 month tenancy, to protect all parties.
Put it the other way; would you be happy, as a tenant, if I decided arbitrarily to end your 6 month lease? Thought not.
