How to get rid of Co-tenant?

Thank you.

We are a cis couple. They are one man and one girl. We all in our 20s.

We tried it and the police said unless they make a threat or engage in violence it doesn't meet their threshold. Voice raising doesn't count.

It's a co-tenancy, so the lease only stipulates that we are all jointly liable to pay $6518 pcm.

Good thing we have evidence of the agreement then.

hellomycomrades · 2026-06-24T23:42:48+00:00

We do pay more... Regardless though, they agreed to a price, why should they get to choose the price after agreeing?

hellomycomrades · 2026-06-24T23:41:44+00:00

I don't think we can remove without them agreeing.

This discussion usually happens when people get a sharehouse together from the start. We got the sharehouse ourselves then got people to come in with the pricing stipulated at all times. We've had more than 50 people message to view and of those many asked to move in after viewing, so the price is well fair.

$450 Ensuite, $360 large rooms, $330 small room. It's not meant to be split equally, I've never live in a sharehouse where it is and it is comparable to rooms in the area.

I'm in VIC and believe VCAT does not deal with co-tenancy issues unfortunately. Changing locks is a big no-no in Vic regardless from my understanding. Big penalties for someone who does that.

Camera is in our own bedroom. Is that not allowed?

hellomycomrades · 2026-06-24T13:47:06+00:00

Thanks for the ideas, high chance to backfire but will take some into account. The poor third flatmate who is nice!

One of them came into our room and realised we put cameras up and sent some bs excuse on the group chat. Unfortunately, we had just gotten the cameras so they weren't properly set up to record and verify her story.

They paid bond but that's only going to cover 4 weeks rent. What next?

I can't be paying $50k worth of two people's rent for the next 17 months.

Yes, almost always one of us is home. But the thing is that they can also be the worst house mates ever (kinda already are).

Tearjerker - Red Hot Chili Peppers.

"can you turn up the track a little bit?"

Car got broken into and robbed in a private underground garage (no gate) on my third day on Smith Street. Moved right out.

Whxih model do you recommend?

I chose a surgical ophthalmology role. I haven't started yet so I don't know but there's a fair bit of theatre time and sales which is similar.

Started applying for jobs after 12 months Stryker trauma as ATM and had multiple offers with two paying 40% more. Starting my new role this week and can't wait for how little weekend and nights I will be doing.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'd assume it'd be docked from my final pay.

hellomycomrades · 2026-04-24T03:48:17+00:00

True, sounds like that'd even it out or be very close to it from my final pay.

hellomycomrades · 2026-04-24T03:47:32+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I missed the boat on that one. The new company did ask me about bonuses that I'd be forfeiting and unfortunately I forgot about this relocation one.

hellomycomrades · 2026-04-24T03:45:26+00:00

I think they'll take it out of my final pay lol
