He all
Just after some advice regarding a defaulting tenant (in Qld) who leases a corner store from us.
They have been in arrears all year: I issued a Breach Notice in January, they paid rent (but no arrears) in subsequent months and then stopped paying altogether with no communication (more than 3 months with no rent now)
When we chased them for the rent we got the usual "give us some time" which I felt they had had plenty of.
After a few more weeks and no rent I sent a message indicating that they had repudiated the contract and that I would have my accountant prepare a statement of arrears (including arrears interest).
I sent Notice to Leave by registered mail (giving them 3 weeks) and the arrears statement. Once this was received, I was abused by the tenant who asserted he was ready for a fight.
I feel like I have been more than fair but my concern is getting him out and getting a new tenant (who can/will pay) into the property.
If he does not vacate-what should my next move be?
Do I apply to QCAT for a warrant of possession? Is the Tribunal going to ask us to mediate etc?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
