    Hi all about a month ago I started renting a house off an estate agent myself partner and 3 kids now to really bad circumstances and violence were not together and I moved to my parents and hes gone to his to sort out his life.

    So I went to them to say I couldnt keep the house and they said it was a fixed term lease and I couldnt rent is 175 a week my partner was working and paying it I am a stay at home mum now ive given the keys back and he rang me saying he was onto the prtb and ive to pay it until they find a new tenant but im only after realising that the day the lease was signed by my partner I couldnt be there and the secretary signed my name is the lease now void anyone with advice would be greatly appretiated.

    As you have not signed the lease you can't be bound by any terms it may contain. If you paid a deposit you should get that back in full once there is no damage to the property but if the deposit was paid by your partner it may be up to him to look for that back as you would not be entitled to it.

    It will be hard to claim a deposit back on a lease you didn't sign.

    If you are not signed on the lease then I'm not really sure what you can do. I suspect it's your partner that needs to sort this out (the only way he is going to be able to keep the deposit is if he looks to reassign the lease to someone else).

    I would strongly advise you to contact Threshold and see what advice they can give you.
