Hi Dariofoo,

I've got a few questions on tenancy issue.

Say, I rent a room from the main tenant who rents it from the owner himself and there was no agreement signed on paper or whatsoever. The only thing that I had was the proof of payment for 2months deposit. Recently, another housemate and I have discovered that the main tenant have tried to deceive us in paying extra in terms of utilities bill. We have not confronted her yet as we're waiting for her to inform us of the bill payment (she settles the bill and informs us of the payment that we should be every 3/4 months only).

Questions are,

1. If we confronted her with proofs (picture of actual bill) and she denies of her actions, can we sue her when there is no legal paper signed?
2. If we chose not to pay more than what we should be paying, and can she sue us? (again, I have to state that there is no agreement signed here)
3. If the main tenant choose to kick us out from the house immediately, can she do so even if there is a 2-month notice period? (in this case, there is an official receipt for deposit paid)
4. Last but not least, can the other housemate and I sue the main tenant for her actions (unfairness in utilities bill, attempt in kicking us out without notice)? If yes, any proper channels that we can do this?

Thanks!
