Breaking lease in Canberra - landlord discrimination
I am gay and my boyfriend is coming to visit Canberra for a few days, and my landlord is quite involved in terms of wanting to know who is staying. I live in a 6 person sharehouse- all co-tenants are international students apart from myself who is from Australia.
I asked my landlord if my boyfriend could stay for 4-5 days and she said that if he stays, I should not introduce him as my partner and rather as a close friend since some co-tenants may come from more conservative cultural backgrounds. I actually asked her directly, as I had this concern since some of my roommates seem quite religious and can see them having an uproar about it.
Do I have any discriminatory grounds to dispute this? I would like to leave my place but am not keen on paying a break-lease fee of up to 6 weeks rent since I am on a fixed-term agreement until end of this year.
Any help would be appreciated ❤️
