Q: I am the tenant on the lease. I sub-let the room to a housemate privately. I stupidly do not have her sign anything. She gave me Bond (4weeks rent) and 2 weeks in advance when she first moved in. 6 months later- She tells me she is moving out the week before rent is due (with only 1 weeks notice of her move out date)
She moves out July 8th. Rent was due July 3rd. She did not pay. This means she was Not covered by rent from the 3rd to the 8th of her living at the house. Can you help me!?
A: I really appreciate the help john- The thing is, I did not lodge the bond through fair trading (I was never told to do this by my real estate) and am wondering if I broke the law by not having a rental agreement with my housemate.
