How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy began on 22 February 2025 and ended on 11 November 2025. The tenants were subject to a fixed term of 12 months from 22 February 2025 to 27 February 2026 pursuant to a written tenancy agreement signed by the tenants on 19 February 2025. The landlord counter signed the agreement on 20 February 2025.
The tenants moved out during the fixed term stating that that they did not feel safe living there.
Having sighted the landlord’s evidence I am satisfied that the tenants are liable for the rent up to 11 November 2025. As explained to the tenant during the hearing, a fixed term agreement can only terminate early by mutual agreement between the parties or by order of the Tenancy Tribunal. The landlord is entitled to claim for rent arrears up to the start of a new tenancy.
