You don’t look good, is something bothering you.
Yes, it’s my landlord.
Oh, is it something wrong with your flat.
No, that’s not something wrong with the flat. But I’m going to have to move out.
Why did you have to move out?
For the last 2 month, a friend has been staying with me. She stayed until she could find a job.
That’s nice of you.
Yes, but I’m not supposed to have anyone staying there.
Was that in the rental agreement.
Yes, it was. It’s ok if a friend stays for few days but not for more than that.
So you broke the agreement even though it was for a good reason.
Anyway, one of my neighbors told the landlords about my friend. So now I’m in trouble. The landlord is angry and says she can’t trust me.
That’s ridiculous.
I told her about my friend and how I’m trying to help her, but she doesn’t care.
Wow, she doesn’t sound very nice.
That’s right, she isn’t nice. She’s just interested in money. In fact, she is going to keep my security deposit.
How can she do that. Nothing is damaged, right.
Right, everything in the flat is fine.
She’s keeping the deposit because I broke the rental agreement.
What about your rent.
Yes , that’s another problem. I already pay 3 months rent so I hope I can get it back.
What can you do if she doesn’t return it.
I don’t know. I told to my agent. He’s nice and maybe he can help.
Maybe I should refuse to leave the flat until I get it back.
Be sure to take picture of your flat.
What for?
Just to show the condition of your flat. Then she can’t say your friend damaged it anyway.
Good idea. She’s a small-minded, evil woman. I should never have rented it from her in the first place.
