is it normal to get put up for eviction for falling behind on one rent payment?

talking to the real estate today told me I have to pay at least some of the rent owing ($600ish) by 5:00 this afternoon. I get off work at 5:30, so no.

i sent them an email telling them about my change in situation, (saying I won't be able to pay rent for month because of new job has monthly pay cycle) about 2 weeks ago. and this is the first time they have contacted me.

I told them I would have 6 weeks worth of rent for them (I would only owe 4 weeks and I wanted to pay 2 weeks in advance) by the 15th, and then she said something expired by the 15th, so that would be too late.

and then the lady asked me if I had read the letter that they had sent me about being evicted. (which I am yet to receive)

she also told me that I had fallen behind for 7 weeks now, and then told me I had paid up to the 14th of last month. (which is 3 weeks as of tomorrow)

Top thread

i concur

my biggest issue is renters posting empty threads about rent issues

Is your rent issue the fact that your rent envelope you hand over empty, like the thread?

landlords arent a bank. they have to pay their mortgage too.

you take out a lease, you pay rent. If you dont pay your rent, then they will find someone else who will.

the landlords dont care about your pay cycle, and its not their problem that you dont have any money saved up to pay rent.

you can be evicted for falling 14 days behind in rent. either pay your rent in full (borrow it off someone if you have to) or cop it like a grownup.

If you fall 1 week behind in rent you get a Remedy Notice. If you do not pay all the rent within 1 week from that notice you are then issued a Notice to Leave. At that point they can apply for termination/eviction through the courts.

Also if you have had 2 Remedy's (About anything) before and you are about to get your 3rd they can also apply for termination/eviction.

PS. pay your rent on time and you wont have an issue.

so crusher, you say that it is entirely normal?

I don't understand how you think I'm complaining, I understand the landlords position, and I'm not saying he is wrong.

I'm just saying, its not like I all of a sudden stopped paying rent with no explanation,

and surly they would lose money anyway if I got evicted? also I thought there had to be like 60 days notice with eviction.

anyway, I was just surprised that it came to that so quickly. (BTW, I didn't get any "your rent is late" notices)

sounds a bit harsh, also sounds like there may have been some communication breakdowns in the mail and e-mail.

How do they know you will pay the money on the day you claim? Just cause you said? Many tenants claim they will pay and never do...

If they don't start the process of kicking you out and wait till the day you claim you are going to pay they would be considered to have been not doing their job properly and could get introuble themselves and lose the property due to pissing the owners off and not issuing the notices on time.

PS Hi spidz and crush :)

I'm sales master now spidz :)

is it normal to get put up for eviction for falling behind on one rent payment?

You can’t be evicted for one breach, although they can put you on the course for being evicted. You only need three breaches to get evicted.

i sent them an email telling them about my change in situation, (saying I won't be able to pay rent for month because of new job has monthly pay cycle) about 2 weeks ago. and this is the first time they have contacted me.

Your first mistake was sending them an email, getting no response and assuming that silence decreed acceptance. Before negotiating with any legal entity that can screw you, always go in and talk to them and get your agreement written and signed.

she also told me that I had fallen behind for 7 weeks now, and then told me I had paid up to the 14th of last month. (which is 3 weeks as of tomorrow)

Real estate agents are, in general, clueless about the legality of their situation and depend on the ignorant of their customers.

www.rta.qld.gov.au is a good resource for finding out information about this kind of stuff. Specifically the guidebook they give to all renters (which is also available online

I'd also recommend that you phone the RTA tomorrow and ask for lots of advice.

In one of their FAQ sheets, they mention this...

Rent arrears
If a tenant is seven days overdue in rent payments, the lessor/agent can serve a Notice to Remedy Breach (Form 11). The tenant then has seven days to pay the outstanding rent for a general dwelling and five days in a moveable dwelling. The termination process may commence if the tenant has not paid the outstanding rent in accordance with the Notice to Remedy Breach

The common person test holds that "There is no excuse for failing to honour your obligations".

The housing authorities, centrelink, and various other community organisations exist to assist people in this sort of situation. Any number of solutions come to mind, such as getting a payday loan, pawning some equipment, or multiple other solutions that would avoid an eviction. There is always a solution, and that is what the common person test implies (that a solution will be sought).

I agree that it was a mistake to reply to their notices. You could have politely ignored them, and when they tried to get heavy handed simply have said "I didn't get your notices, I have been having problems with missing letters etc". The whole process would have started again, and given you that little bit of extra time. They obviously didn't want all of the rent, only a portion of it in good faith. Go down to lifeline, salvo's or any charitable mob and get a loan from them. Housing authority can loan you the money as well, similar to a bond loan. Nobody would want to see you evicted, so as a Man, it is your responsibility to do whatever is required to solve the problem. Hope it all works out in your favour.

FB

I think if it's something as important as not paying rent for over a month, then you should have called or visited the office in person to talk about it. Not rely on email which is not guaranteed to be delivered. Even if it is delivered, it has to survive anti-spam and anti-virus scanners and then the receptionist who probably has no idea what your email is and is just checking for the latest fashion deals from Supre.

You should contact the RTA and liase through them with the real estate agent, and pay up ASAP.

This will become a more common problem.

* Too many mexicans.
* Over-priced housing market.
* Which equals higher rents.
* The scaling back of public housing.
* Political indifference.

= this thread and many more like it.

You could have politely ignored them, and when they tried to get heavy handed simply have said "I didn't get your notices, I have been having problems with missing letters etc".

IIRC, the Tenancy act doesn't require you to get the notice, just that the real estate agent did everything legally required to notify you. Also, for the record, if you don't currently have a complaint at Australia Post about your mail going missing you'd be committing fraud.

You're suggestion is just winding up for a big loss somewhere down the track. Not only could you get charged for fraud, but you'd also get put on a national register for s***ty tenants - which is almost impossible to get off (and trying costs you like 50 dollars minimum) - and you could still end up being convicted. All of which could have been solved by phoning up your real estate agent and asking to negotiate.

Monthly payment cycle? That's gota suck.

Ring them, make an appointment, show them proof of your earning and your next pay date, agree on a pay date, pay. Learn lesson, save money. Profit.


If they dont accept any resonable compromise you dont want to rent with them anyway :D

Couldn't you have borrowed some money for a short term fix? Just until you got your first pay? Not paying rent is pretty serious.

You might be screwed if you can't raise the cash based on the above. They may be legally entitled to evict based on the arrears.

If you don't have friends / family you can lean on, you should be able to find a vaguelly high-interest lender who can get you the cash based on the fact that you're employed. They have a few in Cairns who do 500-2000 loans for this sort of thing.

The hard lesson though is to save, or otherwise try to make sure that you're never that close to the line that missing a few week's pay means you can't pay the rent. I lived like that, paycheck to paycheck for years and it sucked. If I or wifey lost work for six months now we could cope with it, its a much better feeling!

Jubs,

I have seen you around Toowong as I have been working on Level 6 of the Tower for the past 11 months. Back To Eagle St in April though.

What happened to the other grand plans?

Yeh I remember seeing you the other day in the village.

My mates are still doing it and has really taken off for them.

I just got bored out of my brain with the products and the travelling interstate all the time wasn't my thing.

RE4LIFE :)

f*** how close do you live to the wire if you can't pay 2 weeks rent before you get paid again

how about putting some money away in case this sort of s*** happens?

Thank god I have a morgage :/

so basically the point of this thread is, you're living beyond your means

and it's all about to fall down?

when your outgo is greater than your income
your upkeep will be your downfall

f*** how close do you live to the wire if you can't pay 2 weeks rent before you get paid again

how about putting some money away in case this sort of s*** happens?

but then I got fired from my job with no warning. and the new job, pays monthly.so that's about 5 weeks with no income. considering I'm only 2 weeks over rent. as opposed to 5, I did the best I could with limited resources.

my point is anyway, there is nothing i can / could do about it, so i just got to ride it out and see what the real estate does.

btw, i can't go in for a chat because im working to get them there damn money

btw, i can't go in for a chat because im working to get them there damn money

I think you'll find real estate agents work weekends.

they usually have telephones too

my point is anyway, there is nothing i can / could do about it, so i just got to ride it out and see what the real estate does.

Step 1) Phone the RTA and explain your case and ask for advice.
Step 2) Phone up your real estate agent and explain your case. If your agent gives you a hard time, ask to talk to the property manager.

The worst thing you could do is sit on your arse and see if they evict you.

hated monthly pay cycles at first

now with a bit of budgeting, love em

second calling the RTA
doing anything else, including posting here, is practically pointless

the only good thing about posting here is that you got told to call the RTA

landlords arent a bank. they have to pay their mortgage too.

Awww, the poor f***ing scum who drive property prices up by owning multiple properties... I feel so sorry for them (not).

Multiple homes should be taxed at 100% of the value of all previous properties owned.

Eg, first home = $350,000, $0 tax paid on that.
Second home = $370,000, $350,000 tax paid on second home.
Third home = $600,000, $720,000 tax paid on third home.

Would solve the problem.

And would make even more difficult to get a rental .. top plan ...

The problem is too much government f***ing around. They need to rapidly free up land around the major centers and put in the infrastructure to support it.

what would you know about problem people to rent with obes?

oh wait... everything!

Awww, the poor f***ing scum who drive property prices up by owning multiple properties... I feel so sorry for them (not).

I'm confused about how one person owning multiple properties controls the value of the property? Golden rule in real estate is that the property is only worth as much as someone will pay for it, not what one person decides it's worth.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune WhiteWolf but you're not doing yourself any favour by sitting on it. If it were me I'd be hitting the phone with the RTA at the first sign of trouble rather than assuming stuff.

Live and learn young padawan, the world's a bitch and everyone's out there to get you.

and he thinks he can get help @ life by asking qgl.

Awww, the poor f***ing scum who drive property prices up by owning multiple properties... I feel so sorry for them (not).

Who do you think owns rental properties? Housing Fairies?

Would solve the problem.

Would solve what problem exactly? If people didn’t own multiple houses then there wouldn’t be any houses to rent. One of the largest things driving up the value of housing – at least as rapidly as it has been – is the massive influx of Mexicans to south east Queensland.

Besides, what are you supposed to do if you say … live in Brisbane and get a promotion that requires you live in Melbourne? Should you sell your family house in Brisbane so you can avoid paying 200% market price? That’s f***ed.

Without property investors, there wouldn’t be any rental properties to be had. End of list.

Please get your ' and ? keys replaced around or learn to type you?re s***ting me.

Seriously I wonder how some of you ppl manage to put your shoes on the right foot in the morning. How hard is it to just ring up the rental agency and sort it out?

Whenever I had cash flow issues I always just rang up the real estate and explained the situation - that i was going to be a bit late on the total rent but i'd be in to pay as much as I could afford and would fix it up on X.

And i'd stick to it - if you say you'll give them money on a date then do it.

But no you're right its a much better idea to cover your ears and think about sunshine and lollipops. Eagerly awaiting your homeless post from a net kiosk.

Real estate agents don't care. They get paid regardless of your situation. So they generally don't work well with Tenants.

My folks find from experience that people renting through them privatly prefer to use private owners of places rather than real estate agents because the owners care about their property and the tenants. I know that in the example listed at the start most private owners would work towards a negotiated situation that kept both the tenant and owner happy. If you had proven to be a good tenant then they woould go out of their way to keep you.

Moral of the story, don't rent from real estate agents rent privatly.

Suckah-Free, did i ask for help? maybe you need your eyes checked.

did i whine and say "this isn't fair" i think its fair. if you can't pay rent, you shouldn't live in the house.

what i did ask, "is this normal" i was just wondering if its normal for the land lord to jump the gun so quickly.

answer was "unexpected but not unfounded"

Yeah you were having a cry in the format of a silly question.

ok sorry i deeply and sincerely apologise, i was way outta line.

PM sent for forgiveness.

If I were you, while you are cash strapped I'd suggest buying a new pc or perhaps going on a holiday somewhere. Nothing like a little pointless money spending to make the money problems go away. And if you can't afford to feed yourself after that, you can always just use some of the housemates' food ... they won't mind. Oh and don't forget to drink their beer ... there is a water shortage you know.

the only good thing about posting here is that you got told to call the RTA

Agreed.

I was having heaps of problems with RAY WHITE SOUTH BRISBANE (WARNING, WARNING - STAY AWAY.)

Anyway, the first mistake they made was making three people (19, 25 and 26 in age) each go on the lease and have one of each of our parents go on the lease as well, because apparently these days age, income and clean rent record AND the offer to have parents going guarantor is not enough.

So whenever there was a problem they has six people calling whinge, and oh were there some problems.

The point to all this is the only reason they started listening to us was we called the RTA, got the right information, asserted ourselves with our rights, and started threatening to take action against them.

If youre even going to just speak to someone about the situation, at least be informed, it will make the biggest difference.

Dumbest Post Ever

How much are rooms in Indro/Toowong now?
I heard a crazy rumor that even the bog standard student houses that so litter these suburbs are now twice as expensive as they were not three years ago?
ie, $80-100 each got you a pretty decent (student) weatherboarded house, but now you'd be paying $160-180?

That's crazy talk. How is Austudy gunna cover that.

Right ... and should we do that before or after we start printing more money to improve the economy Pauline ?

IIRC I read in one of those housing pricing reviews someone posted here that the real problem of Aussie housing prices is that not enough land is being released for development. I'm sure I read that this is artificially bloating house / land prices which kind of s*** me.

It can't be denied that the relationship between housing costs and average annual wages has changed heaps in the last 20 years. Whoever is responsible shoudl be kicked in the arse.

it's basically inevitable the more a finite area is populated. more and more people want to be within a certain radius of a city, yet the land within that radius is finite. people realise they can ask more money for their slice, and then other people also realise.

price goes up accordingly

There aint all that much land left anywhere close to the city.

cry more noobs.

One of the largest things driving up the value of housing – at least as rapidly as it has been – is the massive influx of Mexicans to south east Queensland.

Those poor mexicans are moving this way because the bigger picture shows that most of Australia's major cities are functionally full when it comes to housing. Most of the extra influx could be people trickling down a 'rent gradiant' moving to suitable cheaper locations. Moving from Sydney to Brisbane and living on a similar wage would be a strong positive for a budget.

theres some park benches in the city that are cheap rent

Mexican dirt is incredulously expensive, and it's full of mexicans too
I'd jump ship

Or just squat in the house someone else is paying for. Our company just had to kick squaters out of three houses. They just keep movin' on in.

Actually, I think the answer was a definitive "don't be gay, phone the RTA immediately".

That sounds familiar!

here is another quick question and update.

if i get a notice to leave.. do i have to pay the rent that was oweing?

NOTE: reading the RTA website didn't answer this one. yes, i should phone the RTA, but i don't really have the time, seings though i talked to the realestate, said "if i have the money tomorrow, can i still live there" and they said "tomorrow is too late, if you get it today, then sure".

so, during my work hours i gotta figure out a way to get (now $920) by 5:00, (which is crazy cause i just had my lunch trying to get it, and i finish work at 5:30).

you have to pay all rent owing, otherwise they'll just be entitled to get it taken from the bond

Er, grow a pair of nads and learn to manage your own money and wipe your own arse?

If you didn't have a bit of cash backed up to cover the bumpy ride of changing jobs, why did you do it? Did you even try to make some sort of early pay arrangement with your new employer or try contacting Centrelink to see if they could help you out for a few weeks? Let me guess; you checked out the website, sent a few emails, didn't get anything conclusive so you sat back and did nothing?

if i get a notice to leave.. do i have to pay the rent that was oweing?

How many notices of breach do you currently have? My understanding is that you need 3 breaches to be evicted.

However, I think you’ll find that the answer is yes. If the rent is less than bond, they’ll take it out of bond. If bond won’t cover it, and you refuse to pay, they will sue you.

Don’t forget, because they now see you as scum of the earth, their house inspection is going to incredibly harsh. They’ll try and take as much of your bond just in cleaning bills alone.

I wouldn’t be surprised if, in a few weeks, you get a “waaahhh, my real estate agent is suing me”. Don’t be surprised if they also try and tack on phenomenal legal costs onto your bill.

Oh, and you might be required to compensate the real estate agent for time spent finding a new rental customer.

reading the RTA website didn't answer this one.

Did you try reading the dispute resolution part?

i should phone the RTA, but i don't really have the time,

Can’t you phone them while you are on lunch?

seings though i talked to the realestate, said "if i have the money tomorrow, can i still live there" and they said "tomorrow is too late, if you get it today, then sure".

Excluding any legal issues I mentioned above, a huge problem is, you could very well end up getting listed with a tenancy database as being evicted for not paying rent. If you are listed on such a database, for any reason, it can be extremely hard to get your name removed. In fact, just trying to find out if your name is in their database can cost you an arm and a leg.

Many real estate agents use tenancy databases as a way to get rid of dips*** residents and if you’re listed in there (for any reason) they will just reject your notification outright.

So, assuming you don’t want to live with your parents until you can afford to buy your own house, you are going to want to be pro-active about sorting this and not just sitting on your arse making excuses for why you can’t do anything.

Let me guess; you checked out the website, sent a few emails, didn't get anything conclusive so you sat back and did nothing?

1) no choice, got fired from my last one.
2) yes, it wasn't possible
3) Yes, they couldn't do s***
4) who said that? i talked to them about it, they just refused to let me pay when i could.

2) yes, it wasn't possible

Yeah, most low end work won't give pay in advance. Their fear, and quite rightfully so, is that people will start work ask for a half of their pay in advance and f*** off.

3) Yes, they couldn't do s***

Centrelink is pretty homosexual for people in actual need.

4) who said that? i talked to them about it, they just refused to let me pay when i could.

Apparently you did "i sent them an email telling them about my change in situation, (saying I won't be able to pay rent for month because of new job has monthly pay cycle) about 2 weeks ago. and this is the first time they have contacted me. ".

Responding after you got your notice to remedy breach with "oh, I sent you an email about 2 weeks ago telling you this wasn't a problem and you never got back to me" isn't going to make much of a difference. If you had phoned up and asked for the property manager 2 weeks before you were going to stop paying, you'd probably be ok.

So.. has there been a resolution or are you now reduced to plugging your computer into a power socket under the Story Bridge. (Dale used to tell me this is what he would be doing if I didn't cough up and help him pay something or other) I hope you realise I have been losing sleep at night worrying about you... (Its a mother thing!!!) Have they accepted that you will pay when you get paid or not?

Give them as much money as you can. Dont wait till you have it all.

Hope to hell that you can pay the balance and maybe get infront before the court hearing. (as it will be an urgent hearing, but the courts are maxed out) Which could still go ahead but would look very good for you if you had payed all oweing dollars.

As for the remedy thing typo, when someone is due for their 3rd remedy you can apply for court. Eg you only have 2 and about to get 3rd.

4) who said that? i talked to them about it, they just refused to let me pay when i could.

Yeah I tried to get a Ferrari once, but the dealer wouldn't let me pay when I could.

Seriously though, surely there's some friend or family member you could mooch off of for a few weeks? How exactly did you state your case to them? I'm pretty sure if the case is severe enough it's a pay cash/ask questions later sort of deal. The worst thing Centrelink does if they give you money you're not due is *gasp* make you pay it back. Then there's only a problem if you can't pay it back...

So.. has there been a resolution or are you now reduced to plugging your computer into a power socket under the Story Bridge.

*bump*

sorry agent 99 and mscactus, no new updates as of yet.

oh, I sent you an email about 2 weeks ago telling you this wasn't a problem and you never got back to me

I didn't mention the email. the lady on the phone did. and they keep ringing me up asking for the money. wish they would listen to "I can't pay till the 15th" which sucks because on the 16th I'm evicted. but at least I won't owe them any money before I have to go.

Question Time.

Just wondering if this is something I can talk to the land lord about? or because he uses a real estate I have to use the real estate too?

also, the land lord has stuff stored here (locked away, but still on the property) and we rented the house without prior knowledge or written consent.

also, there are / were a lot of things wrong with the place. I'm just wondering if this sort of thing will help my case, or because its a different topic will be disregarded. I mean, all I need is 3 more days and I can pay all money owing and almost a month in advanced.

*sigh* just sitting and waiting.

Have you managed to talk to the RTA????

If you pay everything on the 15th, is there any chance that they will let you stay or did they say that you still have to leave on the 16th?

I know some real estates are very unapproachable and can be unreasonable.. (Been there done that before)...but with the way there are so many people looking for rental properties, you really need to be very careful and keep up to date.. Is this the first time you have rented or do you have a clean record prior to this incident?

There are a few things in life that we all are probably most careful of..
1) keeping a roof over your head
2) Electricity for internet
3) Phone for broadband
4) Food - if you have kids then it isn't satisfactory to only feed them noodles!!!

I would put a formal letter to them explaining that you will pay them in those 3 days x amount of money and pay as much as what you have now and make sure you do everything you say in the letter. (And hope like hell it works out)

Atleast it will look like you are more serious.

Speaking to the landlord wont do s***. You dont understand that millions of people have the same s*** ass reason you do and at the end of the day piss off and dont pay so the R/E and or landlords start not believing people.

Also blaming crap about the place about when you moved in is just stuping to another s*** level. How about you take some ownership of your life and not look for s*** reasons to fight them back.

The are trying to cover their legal ass so try on work on ways you can help them not look bad by giving you extra time.

Also blaming crap about the place about when you moved in is just stuping to another s*** level.

lets see someone threaten to take away your home and you not consider resorting to "s*** levels". but I do see your point, I was just trying to buy myself 3 more days.

If you pay everything on the 15th, is there any chance that they will let you stay or did they say that you still have to leave on the 16th?

I talked to them on Friday morning, saying "if I pay what's owing by tomorrow, then can I stay?" they said tomorrow would be too late, because it would go through on Monday, but if I could today, then they would.

so I'm not sure exactly what will happen when I talk to them on the 15th, so we will see.

if they're going t boot you and you're going to have a bad rating and an eviction, I'd hold onto your cash ;)

what was the bond?

http://www.rta.qld.gov.au/zone_files/Fact_Sheets/terminagmt.pdf

....If the breach is the tenant’s failure to pay rent, the handover day must be at least 7 days after the
Notice to Leave is given. For general breaches by tenants, the handover day must be at least 14 days after the notice was given. For general breaches by lessors/agents, the handover day must be at least 7 days after the notice was given.
There are two options if the breach is remedied
after the remedy period but before the termination
notice has expired. The breach can be:
• tolerated and parties continue with the
tenancy, or
• treated as grounds for terminating the tenancy at the end of the notice period.
A tenant may withdraw a Notice of Intention
to Leave after it has been served, but only if it is
withdrawn before the handover day and with the written agreement of the lessor/agent. A lessor can also withdraw a Notice to Leave before the handover
day with the tenant’s written agreement.
Where a tenant breaches the agreement or is given a termination notice by the lessor/agent, the tenant is still responsible for the payment of rent. This is subject to the lessor’s duty to mitigate loss. The demand for rent payable does not affect the lessor/agent’s right to pursue the tenant for breach of the tenancy agreement, nor does it constitute a new tenancy agreement between the parties.
Tenants and lessors/agents may make an urgent
application to the Small Claims Tribunal for a
termination order where the other party has
repeated the same serious breach more than twice in a two year period even though they may have remedied the breach each time.
