Hi guys need some advice here,
I am renting a room in an unit with 1 couple as main tenant and another guy in common room.
we only had very simple contract as their mindset dont really care about this contract thing when subletting. The couple n the other guy r friends n i am just a tenant amd our relationship is just maintenant n subtenant.
We share pub bills and it is quite high cuz one of the couple work night shift so they use aircon during daytime too. So the couple started saying want to share bills based on per room basis of cuz i wont agree.
Then they made rules aircon only allowed from 8pm to 8am i am fine with that. but then the couple n the other guy didnt even follow the rules make me like a stupid.
So i told them i wont follow the rules since no one is following. the next day, the couple installed a timer and restricted my aircon. And of course, the other two rooms still can use aircon anytime they want.
What can i do other than move out? (location is perfect with reasonable rental)

thanks.

You can threaten to tell the owner they doing subletting and it void the contract and they don't get their deposit back, maybe they can go to jail too.

You can bring this case to court and sue them for unfair treatment that cause emotional stress to you and affect your health, possibility of winning few million dollar.

You can flip table in front of them and get whack back by the 2 guys and chop to pieces and end up in the fridge for years.

This is why you need a proper agent with proper contract to protect your interest lo. Want save money then have to endure this kind of problem what. If not agent for what @bunny. Just leave and take it as a lesson la.

Funny thing is my first rental was through agent and the landlord turned attitude immediately after i moved in. it gave me hell i lost my deposit because the agent would not help, i even had to call the police because the landlord trying to lock me out. and yeah i probably being a cheapo for want to save money but it is much better than paying and not getting help from those cheapo agents smile.gif
