lovinglifetothefullest wrote:Hi, I could write an essay, but try to make it very short – does anybody know what the steps are to get occupants removed that are not on the rental contract? In other words, tenants are wanted, but not the occupants one of the tenants lets stay (since months now), they transfer the house into a nightclub (smoke everywhere, massively disturbing the other tenants, rendering their part of the house "half-livable"). It's tricky, because the tenants are on 1 rental contract and 1 of them lets the unwanted people stay, the others don't agree. Thanks everybody, why do we have to deal with this stuff, wouldn't it be nice to have only nice people in this world Any help is appreciated, thanks.Hi All.
I agree with Andrew about negotiation as a skill to learn and use and improve.
But reading the initial post I felt the poster was wanting to remove these illegal occupants.
In my opinion, unless matters change it's not a safe scenario for the property because :
(a) they're not on the lease, hence legally not recognised as tenants, so
(b) they're not responsible for damage or rent under the Residential Tenancies Act in NSW
(c) they have not completed a tenancy application to check on their ID, rental history or background
(d) their occupation has not been approved by PM or property owner, hence it's a sublet by the tenant if they're paying rent
to the tenant which is usually a major breach of the lease in most pre-printed NSW lease forms
(e) those with no regard for tenancy laws will likely have no regard for your property
(f) one of the legal tenants wants them out as well, so from the 2 legal tenants you'd expect support from one and compliance from the other.
I believe in negotiation, but first you have to regain control as a landlord and all occupants in the property need to understand the real situation first.
As a PM, I never negotiated with squatters or illegal occupants on principal because I couldn't legally condone illegal occupation without being negligent and liable, so I insisted they vacate and make an application, and in considering that application, I considered their recent actions as well as their merits.
Maybe that's just my style of P Management, call it unfriendly if you like, but a PM cannot afford the legal liability of playing soft hearted social worker with illegals.
What a property owner does with their own property under self-management is their own decision.
