    I am a tenant in this situation -> property sold and 30 days vacate premises 'vacate possession' notice given to me. Though there is no way I will be out on the date they require because of slow market / lots of renters looking. I was lucky to find and agree to move into a place just under two weeks after my vacate date. It just came on the market and current tenants still in there

    I have no money to stay at a hotel for 2 weeks, no friends/family to stay with and nowhere to store my furniture / no money to put it into storage / no money to hire a removal truck twice in one month. So I only have one option…

    I will just stay past the vacate date until I can move out. I will be fine as it will take them 2 weeks to get a tribunal date, then tribunal would give 5-20 days notice on top of that anyway. I'd be out before the tribunal date so nothing the real estate can do. But how will that affect the new owner / sale of the property? I've rung to let them know and they don't communicate or negotiate, very unhelpful so why would I go out of my way for them if they won’t come to a compromise…

    My advice is to communicate with the tenant and come to an agreement. Otherwise if you keep them out of the loop they might not be able to find a place in time.
    A few off topic related questions if anyone could please help:

    * Do you think I will be fine in my situation?
    * If I stay past the date they served me to vacate premises can I get in trouble by law / forced out by police, do I get a record, / do I loose my bond / does going to tribunal go on record and cause complications for future renting / buying / getting a loan etc? – All my real estate has told me when I said I can't be out on time is I must be out and return keys by vacate date, but I’m sure I don't have to be and there is nothing they can do until tribunal.
