I sent in a void cheque and a PAD agreement with all my bank details, but did not fill out or sign the lease confirming which dates I agreed to stay.

They took money from my account for the first month, and I shut my account so they could not withdraw any more money.

I have also been in a dispute with my housemates, as they let someone live in my room without paying me, and without my consent/knowledge.

We have a shared 3 person lease.

What can the landlord do given I havent signed, and given my housemates have sabotaged my ability to find a sublet.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We can appreciate that you would be very concerned about this situation.

It is difficult for us to provide a definitive response since a lease can be in writing or it can be a spoken (verbal) agreement.

In your situation , it is best that you contact a Community Legal Clinic as soon as possible for some information regarding what your rights and obligations are in this situation.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
