Hi,
I am a landlord in NSW wishing to kick my tenant out. There is no written contract between us but when the tenant moved in, we did have a verbal agreement stating that I would give the tenant 14 days notice to move out in the circumstance that I required the space to be vacated. The tenant agreed. (I cannot prove this, however, my past tenants have all obliged whenever I wanted them to move out within 14 days).
This tenant has made the space I am renting to the tenant extremely dirty and disorganised and has appeared to ignore my pleas for the tenant to clean up the space (I have asked the tenant on several occasions and not once has the tenant done any cleaning). I am not sure if this is means that the tenant is on the grounds of; "the premises being destroyed or wholly or partly uninhabitable" (quote from fair trading), where the tenant has left the place partly uninhabitable (under my standards).
I want to know what I can do to kick this tenant out and how many days notice I must give this tenant and what my landlord rights under property law are in this situation. I cannot afford a lawyer and my legal understanding is fairly limited.
Any help would be great thanks.
