Hi
My PM has just issued a notice to vacate because the tenant is > 14 days in arrears. A VCAT date has been set.
Tenant has been very erratic with rent, and I want him out.
After receiving the notice, the tenant has now coughed up enough to be only partly in arrears. I still want him out though. It's a month-to-month tenancy.
Assuming tenant contests, will VCAT look favourably on the tenant since he has part paid? Or will VCAT side with me since I took action when he was 6 weeks behind?
Or would I do better to postpone the VCAT hearing, and give the tenant 60 days notice (I want to move back in)?
Any thoughts appreciated.
Cheers,
Scaramanga
