The Room Problem

I was in my office and suddenly I got a call from my room owner. He called me and said I have to vacate my room tomorrow. I was like surprised, what happended all of a sudden. I said I will talk to you in the evening.

I was worried, what going to be next. While I was on the way to my home, I got a next message saying the issue is sorted out, You dont need to vacate the room now. I was bit of relieved.

To understand what happended here, I will give you a little bit of background. My Owner is not actually owner of the property. He is actually a tenant who has subletted the room to me.

More to this, he hasnt informed the owner about me living in his property because the owner does not wants a bachelor to live in his room. Obviously I wasnt aware of all this.

To make matter worse, the owner was living in the property next to our home. And he also had a food shop on the high street.

One day it happened to me that I went to that food shop. I purchased some food and all of sudden the owner asked me, do you live at 46, tiverton road?

I wasnt aware that he is the owner. I said yes. He asked me how much are you paying as rent. I said 500 something.

That's it. I am not sure what happened next. Probably the owner called his tenent (to whom I subletted the room) and asked to vacate my room.

Finally after some discussion between those two, the owner agreed to sort out the issue after meeting me.

Next day morning, he came to my room, saw my room, asked for my passport and visa etc. and after that went away without making any big issue.

So finally the room problem was sorted :)
