A head tenant of a Sydney rental has outed themselves as a scummy landlord-wannabe online and, unsurprisingly, people are not fkn impressed. Hell hath no fury like broke and scorned Sydney renters.
Reaching out in a Facebook group for share houses in Sydney’s inner west, the anonymous poster asked their fellow renters for advice on how to deal with a pretty fkn prickly situation, if I do say so myself.
“I am currently the head tenant of a 5 bedroom house in the inner west,” the person wrote.
“I sublet to 4 others and have done so for two years. The lease is coming up for renewal and the other tenants all wish to sign on.”
Okay, very normal, please continue.
“The issue is I have not been very transparent about the relative rental contributions and my rent is actually entirely covered by them.”
WHAT.
“How do I go about navigating this situation?” OP asked.
I’ll tell ya how, mate. You come clean and pay them back the money you swindled from them, because this is straight up a scam.
