I've just moved out of a rented place, I went to see the landlady a month back and gave her my months notice. She said fine, but the rental went from the 4th of each month so I'd have to pay until Jan 4th. Ok says I, so we agreed.

Then the rental company who set the deal up write to us both and point out the contract I'd signed said 2 months notice, I'd forgotten that, so had landlady, but now she says, well thats that, I've to pay until Feb 4th.

I reckon the verbal agreement we made supercedes what I signed 2 years ago, but not sure that would stand up in small claims court. She's offered a compromise of 50% rent for the last month, or nowt if she rents it by then. Best I can get?
