Urgent legal advice required from a lawyer/experienced individual regarding rental issues.
The post might sound trivial, but the harrassment is extreme. Also, it is a bit long but please bear with me, I really need assistance.
I (25F) have been living in a 3BHK flat with two girls since January 2025. I found the place through a Facebook ad. Initially, they seemed friendly, but things changed soon after I moved in.
LIVING SITUATION:
-The other two girls always keep their doors closed, don’t interact, and act cold.
-I had made it clear before moving in that I work long hours (12+ hours) and only need the flat to sleep 3–4 nights a week. They agreed.
RENTAL AGREEMENT & OWNER DETAILS:
-
I’ve repeatedly asked for the rental agreement and the owner’s contact since January — they refuse to share either. (Screenshots available)
-
They now say I’m living “illegally,” though I pay my share of rent and utilities.
CONFLICTS & HARRASSMENT:
-
In February, they accused me of smoking in the flat once (a friend had done it unknowingly); I apologized.
-
They often bang on my door during work calls and make false accusations about using their things.
-
They speak rudely and refuse to clarify which kitchen items are “common.”
RECENT ISSUE:
-
I pointed out that the “common” cooker had rotten food and flies, just asked to clean it. They took offense and started fighting again.
-
One girl’s sister also stays there and uses common electricity, but when I asked her to split the bill, she rudely refused.
CURRENT PROBLEM:
-
They’re now demanding I move out.
-
The society secretary refuses to get involved since I came through a facebook ad and not the owner's contact.
-
I have no owner contact and am scared they might throw my belongings out one day.
-
I cannot leave the flat at least for the next 5-6 months due to financial and health restraints.
-
I’ve saved screenshots of all chats and incidents. What should I do now? Should I go to the police? How do I find the owner’s details safely?
