Hi..
I just signed a TA and moved on Friday to a 3room flat with cousins(6pax).
And there’s some issues like leakage from washing machine,cockroaches and not working appliances .I have asked the owner to fix it but she refused to that by telling it’s quit expensive and she almost spend $2k for repairs before rent.
Since it’s quite uncomfortable for one of my cousin would like to quit from the rental..
Is it possible?

Hi Durgah,

If it is within the agreed terms that it is Landlord's responsibility to make good whatever faulty appliances or damages that affects the liveability of the property, you will need to inform Landlord that it is not a matter of how much she has spent for the repairs prior to your move in but it is in the contractual obligations that she must attend to this, otherwise Tenant may opt to take actions to fixed these issues and charge to Landlord's account. Your agent should be able to assist you in this matter.
