Our landlord has sent us a letter giving us two months notice to leave, which means we have to get out of the house on September 10th, 10 days before our lease is actually up. However there's a house just up the road we can move into in a couple of weeks, but we don't want to have to pay rent on two properties (they won't hold the new propery until September for us). My question is, if the landlord has sent you notice that they want to terminate your lease early, are you entitled to leave the house before the expiry of the two month notice period and not pay rent after the date you leave, or are you still liable until the end of the landlord's notice period? In essence, as they've now changed the terms of our lease, can we change them too?
