Hi there,  
My landlord and I agreed to end the tenancy 3 weeks before the 6 month’s contract ends  
Is that possible?  
And what should i do ?  
I know the break clause takes in consideration 6 monts minimum ( 4 plus 2 of notice )  
Thanks

Hi,

If you both agree to end the tenancy, then there is no problem. This is called a mutual surrender. Here is more info:
