Hello, I recently sub-letted a room in a share house and paid bond of $400 to the lease holder [M]. Another woman, , also sub-letted, paying $500. Neither of us signed onto the lease. There was a verbal agreement that the bond would be repaid when the (then)current lease ended, minus fees for any damages incurred. The lease ended, and myself and signed a new lease with the real estate agents for the property, paying full bond. $150 was deducted from my bond with [M] to pay rent. As it stands, [M] had $250 of my bond and $500 's. He has not responded to any emails or phone calls, or messages for 3 weeks. All I have are records of emails and text messages with his agreement and bank transcripts of our rent and bond. Is there any legal way of obtaining our monies?
