Check whether you and your u201croommatesu201d share an Assured Shothold Tenancy (the most common): if your home is actually an HMO then the situation is different and more favourable to you.If you have a Shorthold then you cannot terminate the agreement but need to let the landlord know what is going on. After all, the behaviour of the other is damaging the landlordu2019s investment and if they have broken the tenancy conditions then they may have already invalidated the agreement. Make sure that the owner knows, not simply the letting agent (agencies are useless in this kind of situation). Your tenancy agreement should give an address for the owner: if you ask the agent they are legally obliged to enable you to communicate with the owner.The best source of advice for housing problems is Shelter at Get help .
