So we had to agree to deal with new person. By the way our tenancy agreement has expired but both parties forgot to highlight. Agreement does not specify who has to prompt upon expiry. <br /><br />Anyway, in the midst of reading the new agreement, we were surprised to find a new legal fee that we&#39;ve never had to incur. And we decided not to pay because we did not request for the lawyer. So we decided not to renew tenancy and move one month from now on 23 Aug. <br /><br />During our very first agreement (with landlord&#39;s son who is very nice) we were told to pay every 21st of the month. And this is what we&#39;ve been doing every month so far for years without any problems. So for our last month here, we have paid full from 21 Jul - 20 Aug. And we have calculated a prorated rate for 21-23 Aug. However lawyer nephew has demanded that we pay full price for 21 -23 Aug, he said no prorate allowed. Does he have a right to ask this? We feel he is taking revenge on us for refusing to pay lawyer fees and deciding to leave. What should we do? Bear in mind they are holding our 2 months deposit. <br /><br />Thanks in advance. vocalize Property Q&amp;A Mon, 25 Jul 2016 00:59:24 +0800
