Tenant Rent Responsibility Clarification
Summary
If both names are on the tenancy agreement, both parties are responsible for rent until the tenancy ends. If you moved out but your ex-roommate stayed, you might still be liable for rent unless otherwise agreed with the landlord. Overpaid rent for February should be reimbursed by the roommate who stayed. Clarify any outstanding rent for March with the agency. If disputes arise, consider mediation or small claims court.Full Conversation

Thanks for the information! Since both of your names are on the tenancy agreement:
- You are jointly responsible for the rent until the tenancy legally ends.
- If the notice period ends after you moved out, you may still be liable for rent.

I informed agency that I will move out earlier and they send me a letter in which said that my share part was * pounds - how to understand that?
Case Rating: *
Hi Barbara! The agency's letter stating your share part as £* likely represents the rent amount you are responsible for until the tenancy legally ends. It could include rent for the notice period after you moved out.
Would you like to know more about how to contest this or any other specific details?

Hi Barbara! If the agency mentioned £* instead of £*, it might be an error or a partial payment request. You should clarify this with the agency. Would you like more detailed advice on how to address this with the agency or any other specific questions regarding your tenancy?

I am trying to understand if I moved out and my ex room mate stayed there and still lives there , should I still paricipate in paying rent?
Case Rating: *
Hi Barbara! Since both of your names are on the tenancy agreement, you are typically responsible for the rent until the tenancy officially ends. If your ex-roommate stays and the tenancy continues, you might still be liable for your portion unless you have an agreement with the landlord or agency stating otherwise.

What kind of error is in that * pounds?
Case Rating: *
It seems like the amount mentioned (£*) could be a clerical error or a miscalculation. I recommend contacting the agency to clarify the exact amount you owe and why.

they wrote that it is for 12 days of february , time that I actually lived there
Case Rating: *
Hi Barbara! Given that you stayed for 12 days in February and the agency charged you £* for that period, it seems they're prorating the rent based on the days you lived there.
Would you like advice on how to negotiate this or any specific questions regarding your tenancy agreement?

With regards to the rent paid, we are unable to make any refund as the rent has been paid to your landlord. The only advice we can give is for you to see if Mateusz would give you anything. I have calculated the rent for 12 days which works out at £*.* making your share £*.*
Case Rating: *
Hi Barbara! It looks like the agency has prorated your rent based on the 12 days you stayed in February. Since your name is on the tenancy agreement, you are generally responsible for rent until the end of the notice period. You might want to discuss with your ex-roommate, Mateusz, to see if he can cover the remaining rent.
Is there anything specific you would like to know more about?

this is what they sent
Case Rating: *
Hi Barbara! It seems your situation revolves around the prorated rent for the 12 days you stayed in February. Since the agency has calculated your share as £*.* for those 12 days, it appears to be correct. You might still be legally responsible for the rent until the tenancy officially ends, even if you moved out earlier. You should discuss with your ex-roommate, Mateusz, to see if he can take over the remaining rent.

- If Mateusz refuses, consider mediation or small claims court.
Would you like any specific advice on how to proceed with these steps?

my ex roomate says there is no law that says he suppose to return that overpaid rent
Case Rating: *
Hey Barbara! Your ex-roommate is incorrect. If you have overpaid rent and he stayed in the property, you have a right to seek reimbursement.
Here are a few points:
- The principle of "unjust enrichment" can apply, where someone shouldn't benefit at another's expense.
- Your tenancy agreement and communication with the agency will support your claim.

* pounds that I paid covers *-* february
Case Rating: *
Hi Barbara! Since you've paid £* for the entire month of February, and the agency has prorated your rent for the 12 days you stayed, you should focus on discussing the overpaid rent with your ex-roommate. You are likely responsible for rent until the end of the notice period (3rd March), but the prorated amount for February should be reimbursed by your ex-roommate as they continued to live there.
