We are students in England.

I stumbled on an article mentioning our landlord had been arrested for some rather serious crimes and is currently on bail facing trial later this month.

Our tenancy officially ends in a little less than 4 months but (pre arrest) we had been offered to end the tenancy early assumably so the landlord could do work on the house. This was an offer we were planning on taking up till we discovered this information.

The house is part of an agency that is ran by his family but we pay rent straight to him. We have already contacted them.

Most advice online seems to give info on tenants being arrested rather than landlords.

What should our next steps be in this situation.
