Hi, My partner and I moved into a shared house over a year ago. We moved in under a verbal agreement paying two weeks rent upfront and a further two weeks rent in advance. We just gave our two weeks notice to leave the property and have stopped the automatic transfer of rent from our account to the lease holders account intending to use the two weeks rent in advance we handed over before moving into the house as our final two weeks rent. Are we allowed to do this? Bare in mind we are not named on the lease. Our rent and contribution to bills has always been on time and the lease holder has never ever had to follow up on monies owed.
Any advice you can offer would be hugely appreciated.
