Roommate: ANON.
In October, I found an advertisement of ANON on flatmates.com.au. After approaching and inspecting the property I was impressed that ANON presented the house clean and that she is a clean person and that it would be maintained like that with obviously the help of myself (sharing work, requirement of co-tenant). I was required to pay bond and hand in signed documents to the real estate agent in Ryde. I took an unpaid day off work to take care of these documents. ANON had requested myself to pay the bond to her so she can pay the real estate. I paid approximately $880.
Throughout and 4 months down the track ANON had been and still is extremely dirty, brought maggots into the house, had a house party without discussing it with me, and allowed other guest sleep on my bed while I was away on holiday. ANON barely contributed to housework where I was like a house maid and had no choice to clean as she needed to use cooking and basic facilities. ANON was rude about this and said that she was testing me and she needed to pick up on my game. I am rarely at the property as I stay at my partners house a lot.
On the 1st of Feb, ANON said she will be giving me 3 weeks to leave as I have been causing too much noise (not true, I am barely here and am only at home for a few hours at most). I received no written warnings or any formal written warnings from ANON before. I was under the impression that I was co-signed on the lease and have copies of a written document stating I am on the lease. ANON said she didn’t get me on the lease and withdrew my name without telling me. She took the bond to pay off the previous share with ANON before I had moved in. ANON clearly mislead me onto paying off another roommate where the money I provided was not lodged under my name to the tenant board. ANON has made the situation very difficult for me and has entered my room without permission throughout my time while renting with ANON as well using my things.
I would like some help on what I can do. I am finding a new place.
