Conflict of terms in contract - lodger agreement

Hello,

I live as a lodger in a different city for part of the week. I’d like to move out asap. I’ve just had a look through the lodger agreement and there is a clear conflict of terms.

One section says I can give four weeks notice from the 1 June. Yet another says I can terminate with four weeks notice “at any time”. What happens in this scenario?

The landlord is holding £1,000 deposit which I would like to get back.

Thank you!

Look on Spareroom they have lots of FAQ that might cover this.

Are you definitely a lodger? So you don't have exclusive use of the property, she lives there too?

If you are a lodger then you have to give "reasonable notice ", a guide for this is the way you pay your rent , eg pay weekly give a weeks notice, pay monthly you give a months notice.
