The natural light in my room is amazing makes morning study sessions feel fresh and energising. It's little things like this that make it one of the most comfortable accommodations I've stayed in.

However, if you find a replacement tenant who is approved by the landlord and has paid both the deposit and rent, your liability will be limited to the time until the replacement tenant takes over payment. The tenancy termination will only be confirmed once the replacement tenant has completed these payments.
