Thread: How to deal with a tenant who won't pay rent

Start packing his gear, leave it out the front and get the locks changed tomorrow. Does not sound as if you owe him any favours.

YEP chuck his stuff out the front & tell him you have given his enuff so suck it up & goodbye..



Oh yeah change the locks..

Are you the owner of the dwelling or the lessee?

If you are both lessees you may have no legal recourse but may have to try alternate options

If you are the owner and he is a tenant, you need to see your State fair trading dept and get the appropriate forms to serve him with. Here it generally takes up to three months if they won't go of their own accord.

It is always good sense for anyone who is a lessor to serve preliminary notice on a tenant who is even 1 day late with the rent, even if it's your grandmother. As the process to evict won't start in until the notice is served.

If he has no credit, call

If he's aware of the eviction, pack his stuff, deliver it, if need be. DON'T move another person in until its gone, you don't won't to expose another new room mate to the saga that is, even though its not your fault

Or, bash him

Brian Hjelm has bragged in the past to having contacts with Bikies that will debt collect.

Actually call him rather than SMS is a start. Then, you decide how you want to proceed. To do it legally you need to go to the CTTT (Consumer, Trader and Tennancy Tribunal) NSW Consumer, Trader & Tenancy Tribunal: Homepage and proceed from there. Make sure you have everything documented. If he doesn't move, and the Tribunal makes out a Warrant for Possession , you take the warrant to the closest Sheriff's Office (Sheriff's Office Homepage - Local Courts : Lawlink NSW) and they can execute the warrant for you. They are the only legal body to be able to do it and are warranted to physically remove the person if required.

Hope that helps.

Don't just chuck his stuff out- you'll leave yourself open to a claim by him if anything goes missing or is damaged. Its a crap situation.
