What is the difference between living at a property and then letting people stay in a room and receiving money for thatWhat is it called when you are living at a property you are renting and allowing people to stay and rent or board rooms in your house?
How does the law system view that? Is there grounds for a property manager to issue a notice to vocate because of subletting?
Reason I ask is because I was living at a property and renting rooms to individuals. The agent sent a breach of lease out saying that i did not have permission to sublease.
Then VCAT said that it was not sub-leasing if i have been at some point living in the property. VCAT handed down a decision that I should have gave proper notice and the bond was taken.
I think i should be able to appeal the decision and claim damages from the property manager company. I had four people in different rooms now they have kicked me out and accepted the other four people on one application to rent the property. The property was looked after in good condition and the rent being paid.
To me this comes under the discrimination act. I can not see how the VCAT judge can allow all this. I can't remember exactly what she said, about how it was not subleasing and that it was something else. I had advertised it as to 'share this accommodation with me'.
I was receiving $400 per week and the rent was $270. It took a bit of effort to get it all set up. Now these people have seen that it was such a good idea they went to the agent and conspired to take over a lease and have me kicked out of the property. I couldn't believe it.
I think the agent should be up for paying compensation. Since my lease was till May and i have indicated on the lease that i wanted to stay for three years. That would have been $6760 per year if they we're staying there solid paying the rent.
I seen all this unfold and I have to say that it was just an incompetent property manager causing problems when there was not a problem in the first place.
I don't know if I could even be bothered with all the effort of appealing etc what do you think of it?
