Probably because a tenant could be granted a windfall of several thousand pounds for something that didn't negatively effect them in anyway shape or form.

Please note, that if you are not living there, then the situation changes.
The lot of you are behaving like a bunch of school children.

Get your £60 back from the agent.
Tell them that if it is not reurned, you will deduct the amount from the next rent payment.

Be clear that if a further fixed term is agreed, then the payment...

I suggest you use paragraphs.

School boy error.

They have no liablity at the landlords property.

Think about it logically.

If the police are called and you are living here with a valid tenancy agreement, and the landlord has not given you a notice to quit.
What are the police to do?

Evict your tenant.

If you are still living there, then it's all academic.

I am still not convinced that the dates are correct, but I will leave pulling teeth to the dentist.

Answering all the questions gives you a better chance of getting correct information.

Which box did you tick for Q8?

What notice are you giving them?
What date did the tenancy start, and how long was the fixed period?
Did the tenancy specify an end date? If yes, what was it?
Is the rent payable monthly?

It's really a pointless question that you are asking.
It makes no difference to your landlord. He will get paid until you give him access.

Return the balance of the deposit to the tenant.

Ericthelobster. Please give up trying to explain.
Post #11 said all that needed to be said.

Why don't you ask your council?

What date was the Sec 21 served upon you? You imply it was November 2012.
Did you date it when you signed it?

You have no obligation to do anything. What I would do is to offer them all their money back minus the rent which you will pro-rata.
These sort of tenants will be calling/texting/writing to you all...

Tessa's "wise" words gives comfort to some on this forum, but means nothing.
The property belongs to the owner.

I don't know how my boss survives, as I would guess 90% of our tenancies are periodic.:(think):
