You got it :(
Or you get evicted for complaining
How easy is it to prove a retaliatory eviction?
Pretty easy now that there's no weasel way to evict a tenant. The big issue is that VCAT needs a massive injection of staff and funds
What's the point of fighting if it takes VCAT over a year to take your case? I went to VCAT over a bond issue and that took a year to resolve.
Unless the landlord emails you stating "I'm evicting you in retaliation for x", it's almost impossible to prove.
