<prompt> Human: I was renting accommodating through the students union housing body. I decided to intercalate due to depression, and move back home for the remainder of the year. I had a lease for the whole year and still had 2600 yet pay. They offered me a settlement for 1500, which Im paying in monthly instalments. I hear now that they have an new tenant who is paying rent. They are now getting rent from two people, this seems unfair. Do I have any obligation to continue paying the settlement? How shall I go about disputing it with them? Im currently plucking up motivation and courage to email them about it. My Dad is suggesting just cancelling the direct debit, but Im not sure thats the wisest choice.Heres a link to the contract I signed with all personal details censored Thanks in advance :  <response>: You could ask a UK lawyer but my guess is that since you signed a contract agreeing to pay, which doesnt have an unless they find a new tenant clause, youre absolutely obligated to continue paying. If youd simply continued paying your ordinary rent youd definitely have an argument that you dont have to keep paying once theyve replaced you, but in this situation I dont think you do. Fairness doesnt really enter into it.
