Hello, I'm renting a room for rent. My landlord stated when before we moved in that we would have our own bathroom... When we moved in they demanded us to share the bathroom.. there are already * people in the other room sharing the bathroom, now they are moving another person in our bathroom without permission, after we said we don't feel safe with other people using the bathroom because people before have walking in on me and my wife while taking a shower several times... Now the landlord is demanding us without asking to move our stuff out of the closet so the new tenant in the other room can put their stuff in there. Landlord said if we don't move it she's moving our stuff without permission.
