Hi guys,
I have a tenant in my property whose lease ends in 2 weeks.
If he does not leave at the end of the lease what is the procedure?
Do I have to provide him with an eviction notice than go to vcat to get a warrant to have him kicked out?
Try to find a tenant handbook that outlines the processes in your state.
A quick google search should come up with something.
We have one in the ACT that we used a couple of years back for a trouble tenant. It was a fantastic guide that clearly spelt out the rights/obligations of each party.
We followed every process exactly as it was outlined and managed to get a good result.
Don't forget to document/record everything.
Cheers
Jamie

Whether a lease ends or not you still have to provide a 30 day letter to vacate. If a lease ends then it automatically goes on a month to month basis.
Are you managing this yourself or going through an agent?
Frankly if you are going through a agent change them
If you are managing the property yourself I suggest you either get an agent or make sure you understand the law.
Ignorance will not be seen as an excuse

Have you given the tenant notice to vacate?
In Victoria the lease continues on month by month once the lease expires, until you give notice to vacate.
Has the tenant given any indication that they wish to vacate?

and, as mentioned above, follow it's directions exactly. The section you need starts on page 25.

If the tenant hasn’t been advised in writing that you require vacant possession how are they going to know & more importantly how will you prove you have terminated the lease?
Sounds like you are self-managing.
As others have said – grab a copy of the tenancy laws in your state and follow them to the letter of the law. Just because you self-manage doesn't mean you can operate outside the tenancy laws in your state.
Always handy to have a copy in your files even if the property is professionally managed.
