Need to leave early? The fair ways out
Life changes: a job, a relationship, a move. The exit clause decides whether you can leave without paying for months you won't live there. You usually exit penalty-free via a replacement tenant or a break clause. Fill in the details and we'll prepare a message that opens the conversation with the landlord.

The fair routes out
- ▸Break clause: if the lease has one, check the notice period and terms. A fair clause is symmetric for both sides.
- ▸Replacement tenant: offering a suitable replacement is the common way to exit without a penalty. It's hard for a landlord to refuse a solid candidate without a good reason.
- ▸Notice & refund: even with no break clause, the fair baseline is clear: reasonable advance notice, an orderly handover, and a refund of anything you pre-paid for an unused period.
- ▸Proportionate penalty: any early-exit compensation should match the landlord's actual loss, not a blanket punitive fine.
