Hi all,
Noob landlords here. We've had some problems with our tenants paying rent on time, the only time they've actually done it was when they first moved in. From that point on each month has been a drama with excuses of problems with bank transfers etc, though miraculously rent always seems to appear at the 11th hour of when we would be able to evict them.
This month is a different story, they have paid close to the correct amount but not quite, so the 14 day rule doesn't seem to apply, the only out for us is to give a notice to vacate for no reason which is 120 days.
The seem to either be very stupid (why pay just short of the right amount?) or playing us for fools (I'm inclined to believe this).
As well our agent has not been exactly pro-active about this but that's probably an issue for another thread!
Does anyone have any advice... would there be anyway of getting them out quicker than 120 days in Victoria?
I know this is hardly a horror story as we've always gotten the money eventually, but I guess it would be nice not to have to worry each month about when the next payment will arrive.
Any and all advice appreciated
