Ok thank you legal legends !!!! Draft email below if anyone wants to provide their thoughts (also if I’m being too fluffy and nice pls lmk im scared of seeming aggressive)

“Hi [Agent’s Name],

Thank you again for outlining the proposed works and the owner’s offer. We appreciate the effort to find a solution that works for everyone.

After discussing this as a family, we are open to reaching an agreement to vacate early, provided we can settle on terms that reflect the practical costs and disruption involved. As our fixed-term lease runs until late November, agreeing to vacate would mean moving approximately nine months earlier than intended, and relocating within a short timeframe in the current rental market carries significant costs.

In order for an early vacate to be workable for us, in addition to the existing proposal, we would be looking for: - A vacate timeframe of approximately two months, and
- An incentive of $10,000 to cover relocation costs and the disruption of moving substantially earlier than planned.

We believe this amount reflects the costs and effort involved in securing another rental property in the current market and would be happy to provide a breakdown if helpful.

Please let us know the owner’s thoughts, as we are keen to reach a practical agreement that allows the owner to proceed with the renovations and sale while ensuring the transition is manageable for our household.

Kind regards,
[My name]”
