If you’ve signed an individual fixed term contract… 

...And there is nothing in your contract that lets you give notice, you’ll need to find a replacement to take your place in the contract. Your landlord will have to agree to the tenant. Even if you don’t move into the house the landlord could hold you responsible for paying the rent and could contact your guarantor or take you to court if you don’t pay.
