Our Experts Answer:
The Residential Tenancies Act only applies to the relationship between a tenant and landlord. It does not cover the relationship between a tenant and a flatmate. I recommend that you seek independent legal advice from your local community law centre about what you can do to recover your bond from the tenant.
