Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone knows much about the eviction process.
Long story short, we have Tenants in one of our units whose lease ends on the 5th March (they signed up on a 6mth lease). We advised them a number of weeks ago that we wont be renewing their lease (they are problem tenants and have caused damage to a brand new house) and told them that they will need to look for a new place and move out on the 5th March.
Today they have advised us that they do not intend on moving and will be staying at the unit because they cannot afford to move.
Our PM has told us that she will proceed with the eviction process on the 6th March (the day after their lease term expires) but my question is, given they have already warned us they don't intend on leaving at the end of their lease, are we allowed to start the eviction process now given that it will take a good couple of weeks to finalise and actually get them out of the house? I don't want to have to wait till the 6th March and then wait a further 2 weeks when they have already warned us they aren't going anywhere?
Advice?
