        Which communities can I post this on Reddit

        I (25F)stayed in a rented 1BHK in Bangalore for two years. The owner lived right in front and would constantly peek through windows or stand outside whenever someone visited. My younger sister (12th grade, hostel student) would stay over during holidays, and he had a problem with that, despite no such restrictions being mentioned when I moved in. I always paid rent on time and didn’t party or make noise.

        There were multiple maintenance issues (water blockage, leakage) that he never fixed. I fixed it on my own. When the leakage started affecting the walls of his building , he asked me to vacate. I informed him I’d leave on the 15th, but he demanded a full month’s rent. When I told him that he was the one who asked me to vacate, he said that I took too many people and asked me how many people I brought last month. My parents were there for two weeks and my sister too. After deducting everything from my deposit, I still had to pay him 5K. I shifted yesterday when he wasn’t there.

        Now, he’s calling nonstop and even knows where I shifted because I shifted just 10 buildings away, The rental agreement expired after the first year, and he never renewed it, so I was paying rent without a contract. What should I do? I’m really worried that he’ll harass me but I don’t wanna pay him.
