Contact the real owner and hear his story of the things. I guess he would really be displeased if something that doesn't get fixed will put a danger to his property, like a leaking pipe or something like that. | |

This is the case here going on. | |

| Jan 15 at 17:18 | comment | added | Gyro Gearloose | So I take it that these 2 students rent rooms from only one owner who is happy with long-term contracts so that he does not have to bother about who actually lives there? I'm a westener, and can't give an answer based on Islam. What I guess is that this would be alright it they charged only a few percent as a kind of commission, but is gouging at that rate like you describe it. | |
| Jan 15 at 15:43 | comment | added | Mehedi Hasan | These apartments were almost vacant back then cz a very few residents live here, now he is getting comparatively more money than before without doing anything, just by relying on those students who convinced him that he will be getting money every month without longing for boarders, they will do it for him. That's why he will not take this into consideration. But my question was, the way they are making money is that haram or halal? | |
