Hello, I am currently living in a student housing company.
I started staying in one of the rooms here from the beginning of 2019 August and will stay here until July 2020 as I am bounded with one year contract.
Right before the corona virus became really bad here in Melbourne, I tried to extend my stay in this student housing company for another year (which is until July 2021).
However, I have not yet signed any contracts by paper nor sent the housing company my visa details.
All I have done is pay 2 weeks of rent for a deposit but the money has been used for the rent already.
Here is the question, am I bounded to the contract of July 2020 to July 2021? If so, can I break the contract?
Because of corona virus, I have to find a cheaper rent as I am unable to earn money due to the virus now so I cannot pay the rent of the housing company.
I will somehow manage to pay until the contract of August 2019 to July 2020.
