I'm in a 3br long-term sharehouse.
I'm the only one on the lease.
Someone moved out but we can't find another tenant.
My other tenant is refusing to contribute to the rent of the empty 3rd room saying legally she doesn't have to.
Isn't there a verbal agreement to share all bills and rent even if not on lease?
She pays 1/3 rent and bills even though legally her name is not on anything.
I have lived in share houses for years and this is the first time someone has taken this position.
I offered to pay the first week and go halves after that but she refused that, I have now asked for a third of the extra rent which she has also refused.
