tenancy contracts

[arknor]

My son and 3 friends signed a contract to move into some student house months ago, paid the deposit etc then decided they didn't want to...

Apparently if they don't move in then they are liable for a years rent anyway because apparently it's in the contract?

is that even enforceable ? it sounds utterly ridiculous they would already be losing £1000+ with the deposits

Yea they are idiots but seriously a years rent if they don't move in?

okay thanks all I guess he will learn the hard way.

His younger brother will be happy since he wanted the older brothers larger bedroom when he moves out and we thought he would never move out lol.

I don't know why he wanted to do a house share for uni anyway when we live in the same city hes going to uni and so do the 3 friends he's going to have to move in with....

His GF can stay over whenever he wants, his friends can come back home with him when he leaves work and gets in at stupid hours like 2-3am as long as they keep the noise down.
I don't think he realises how good he has it living at home.

If it were me I'd just move in and have house parties every night, **** the landlord they would soon want rid

LL made is sound like they have to pay 12 months rent and she could still rent it out though which is why I posted here because to me that is ridiculous
