Votre propriétaire est parfaitement en droit de vous réclamer ces indemnités de rupture ainsi que les loyers venant à échéance jusqu'à la in de votre préavis.

En quoi serait-elle responsable de vos déboires financiers?

Vous avez rendu l'appartement dans un état impeccable?
Parfait, vous n'avez en fait que rempli vos obligations légales et contractuelles quant à l'entretien du bien qu'elle vous avaitt confié.

Si vous lui aviez trouvé un locataire solvable, ayant des référence en béton armé, peut-être l'aurait-elle accepté?

Mais encore, légalement, rien ne l'oblige à accepter un locataire proposé par vous, ni dès lors de renoncer aux indemnités de rupture (et préavis)auxquelles elle a droit.

Il est clair que juridiquement les locataires ont une relation contractuelle (avec droits ET obligations) vis-à-vis du propriétaire et lui seul.

Un syndic n'a jamais à intervenir en direct avec des locataires puisqu'il n'a aucun lien juridique avec eux.

So if you want to perform this inspection sooner, you will need the written agreement of your tenants.

Si elle n'avait pas de CPE, elle n'a probablement pas enregistré le bail non plus (Résidence principale - 9 ans?)

Si c'est le cas, vous pouvez quitter les lieux immédiatement sans préavis ni indemnités...

Et l'expert indique quelle cause?

Souvent l'apparition ce type de champignons (mais c'est évidemment difficile de se prononcer sans les voir ou sans photo) est dû à de la condensation.

Si c'est de la condensation, il s'agit d'un dommage locatif car elle est due à un manque d'aération et/ou chauffage.

La quantité d'eau que vous produisez en cuisinant et/ou en vous doucahent est trop importante, l'air est saturé d'eau et si vous n'aérez pas suffisemment, l'eau contenue dans l'air se condense sur les parois les plus froides, ce qui provoque l'apparition de champignons....

MOVING OUT
Respect the terms of the contract!
If you want to break the lease before its expiration date, send your termination notice in due time best by registered letter with proof of delivery. The termination period starts on the first day of the month following the month in which your landlord received your notice.
Once notified of your departure, your landlord is entitled to show the property to new candidates (generally 2 hours per day, 3 times a week). Propose the most convenient timeslots for every one (like 2 evenings a week between 6 and 8 pm and the Saturdays between 10 and 12 am). Present the property at its best: as soon a new tenant signs, you get rid of the visits and your landlord is more likely to grant you an earlier departure.
Arrange with your landlord a date and time for the Exit Inspection. Please note that if this inspection is conducted by an Expert, acting for both parties, his decisions concerning the amount of compensation will be irrevocable. Generally, you have to give back all the keys (and the copies you would have made) at the end of this Inspection.
CHECKLIST BEFORE THE EXIT INSPECTION
•    The rented place should be given back in, at least, the same conditions you got it  (as described in the initial house inspection report).
•    It needs to be perfectly clean and perfectly maintained.
•    Clean out the smoke extractor in the kitchen and all the grease filters need to be perfectly clean.  Otherwise replace them before the exit house inspection.
•    Calc: use a good anticalc for all taps in the kitchen and bathroom including opening the tip of the faucet and cleaning the filter under it.
•    Check that WC flush mechanism is perfectly clean and doesn't keep on running.
•    Joints: need to be perfectly maintained; replace them if they are damaged.
•    Light fixtures; make sure all the light fixtures are firmly on the wall and that all bulbs work (unless they were dead when you moved in).
•    Rain gutters must be perfectly clean.
•    The garden must be in exactly the same conditions as before you moved in the rented property.
•    Check for scratches on the parquet floors and doors; repair them if any or refinish the whole parquet floor if there are numerous spots and scratches.
•    Vacuum and shampoo the carpets (it doesn’t matter if they were not shampooed when you entered. If the expert said they were clean and proper, you will need to clean them like that).
•    Dirt smudges / condensation on the walls; you may be charged for painting the whole wall unless the painting is more than 9 years old, in which case it is fully amortized and you don’t have to repaint it. N.B you would still need to repair holes and clean the pencil writings of your children for instance.
•    Check window and door handles and locks to make sure they work okay. Be sure each door has its own key. (Also valid for the letter box)
•    Wash the curtains if they belong to the landlord and keep the receipt.
•    Have the last maintenance bills for your boiler, heating system, water softener, alarm, chimney sweeping (even if you didn’t use the fireplace). Those maintenance reports can’t be older than 3 months.
•    Make sure all appliances are perfectly clean and actually work if they belong to the landlord (dishwasher, dryer, washing machine, cooker, oven, microwave)
•    Since following the Belgian laws you are responsible for any damages that would have occurred during your tenancy, you will need to prove you have informed your landlord in written (best through registered letters using the same language than the contract) as soon damages would have occurred for which you think your responsibility is not engaged (a leak in an inaccessible pipe, a leaking roof, …) If you don’t have those proofs, the expert will claim them from you.

A rule of thumb for good syndics is to always have the equivalent of 5 months of charge to be able to cope with all kind of unexpected situation.

Like a landlord who is not able to pay the consumptions of his tenant because the tenant has not paid them.

But in front of the other co-owners, the gulty one is the owner, not the tenants who are not present during the annual general assembly.

Other co-owners may now take legal actions against you!!

You have not properly managed the co-propriété.

The Syndic knows only the owner, not the tenants.

So it is always the owner (YOU) who has to pay the charges and consumptions of his tenants BEFORE to charge them back to the tenants.

So in this case you are twice guilty: as Syndic but also as co-owner

No, they only have to pay June.

Once June is paid and the exit house inspection took place, they may leave when then want!
