Apr 23, 2019 at 4:03 comment added CertainFont Yes it would. But it becomes dubious as to wether he has right to kick out out of the premises considering the nature of the agreement. i.e. Can a tenant remove someone if they are seen as trespassing etc. I'd advise to avoid the fight and go to the land lord directly, get on the lease and have the protection of the law.
Apr 23, 2019 at 3:49 comment added dutyanalysing The Tenancy Act does not apply but the rest of laws apply. Wouldn't taking my belongings count as theft?
Apr 23, 2019 at 3:40 comment added CertainFont I'd say something along the lines of; I've been paying rent to your property but your current tenant is trying to evict me illegally under an illegal sublease, so in order to protect your interests as a landlord and my interests as a tenant, it would be mutually beneficial to have a signed lease agreement for a fixed term under the tenancy laws.
Apr 23, 2019 at 3:38 comment added CertainFont Ok so unfortunately if its an agreement with a tenant or roommate, the Tenancy Act doesn't apply. However, you may find some value in contacting the actual landlord to sort this out as if the tenant is acting in dubious circumstances he may back down at risk of losing his own lease agreement. I'd recommend finding the realestate agency who manages the lease and getting in contact with the landlord about signing onto the lease as soon as possible. The only way you can be protected under the law is if everything is above board.
Apr 23, 2019 at 3:34 comment added dutyanalysing BTW thanks a lot for your help. It means lot.
Apr 23, 2019 at 3:31 comment added dutyanalysing He is just a tenant. It was not fixed term.
Apr 23, 2019 at 3:26 comment added CertainFont Was the tenancy agreement for a fixed term? And are you part of a sublet?
Apr 23, 2019 at 3:22 comment added CertainFont So is the leaseholder just a tenant or is he the owner of the property
Apr 23, 2019 at 3:00 comment added dutyanalysing An official lease was not signed but I exchanged an email with the lease holder that specified the rent, damage deposit etc. He replied agreeing to this email. It was never discussed how the arrangement could be ended. The reason he is evicting me is because he's renting out the house to more people than there are rooms. I complained and this is how he reacted. The whole question is, how much time must he give me? He has said if I don't agree to additional "rules" he would immediately evict me.
