Hi,
Sorry if this is a long story. I found out I was pregnant a week ago (approx 6 weeks), and I'm currently living in a third story flat (no lift in the building) in accommodation designed for young professionals. The tenancy agreement is set up from 18th June - 17th June... But, if worked out correctly, the baby is due on 13th February. Ideally, I want to break the lease in September and move in with my partner (he's renting separately and his contract ends then) but I can't possibly afford the rent on both, especially not with a baby on the way.
My landlord is slightly unpredictable to say the least. He was in financial difficulty before me and my housemate moved in to the flat over a year ago, and he's always been grateful to us for moving in. However, the estate agents are less then helpful.
My plan is to approach the estate agents and ask if there is any way that we could get the landlord to agree to end the tenancy early if I agree to pay the advertising costs of finding a new tenant. Does anyone have any experience of this? The flat I live in really isn't suitable for a baby.
I'd be grateful to hear any similar stories, both the successful and unsuccessful.

Just found out I'm pregnant after signing a 12 month tenancy agreement... How can I get out of it?
