I have made a tenancy agreement with 1+1 with 1 month notice condition on 24 Aug 2017.
And few weeks ago, I notify my intention of termination by 24 Aug 2018 which is 12 months after the commencement.
But the landlord argued that I should stay at least 13 months which is 12months mandatory plus 1 month notice.
My interpretation is that I can terminate the contract on 24 Aug 2018 if I notify before 24 Jul 2018 which satisfy both 12 month mandatory period and 1 month notice.
For the avoidance of doubt, here goes the contract condition.
"Both the landlord and the Tenant of this agreement shall have the right to terminate this Agreement on or after the first twelve months of the Term by giving to either parties of this Agreement one month's written notice of its intention to do so. (The tenant must complete above tenancy of first twelve months. Any advance termination before the fixed twelve months should be compensated by the tenant to the total remaining sum of the rented to the Landlord.)"
Who is correct?
Thank you for your answers in advance.
