A young lady (a close friend of the family), who lives in Brisbane, is in trouble with a rental.
She did share a CBD high rise apartment with another couple. All names were on the lease. Things didn't work out, as sometimes happens. So she went to the PM to find out about withdrawing from the lease. She signed all appropriate forms, and found another apartment which she is sharing with a different group of people.
The trouble is that, several months later, she has not been let off the lease for the old property, so is paying two lots of rather expensive rent. The old tenants have taken over both bedrooms, and are effectively having a susbsidised apartment to themselves. YL is paying rent for this old apartment, and does not even have access.
I'm not sure all the details. I understand that the old tenants are rejecting all applicants for the second room as unsuitable. My understanding is that the PM is not happy with YL for breaking the lease, and at minimum, is not helping to find a replacement.
She has been to legal aid and/or the RTA. Their suggestion is to document everything. She's doing that now- but not enough time has passed for her to have enough material to do anything.
She works shift work in bars, on call, at all hours of the morning- so moving out of the new place into the burbs is not an option.
The extra rent is hurting hard. Any help would be appreciated.
