Eviction laws vary between Australian states, but landlords generally cannot remove tenants without following legal procedures.
Fixed-Term Leases
During a fixed-term lease, landlords usually cannot evict tenants without a valid reason such as:
- unpaid rent
- property damage
- breach of lease conditions
Periodic Agreements
For periodic agreements, landlords may issue a notice to vacate without specific grounds, but they must still provide the legally required notice period.
Tenant Protections
Tenants who receive eviction notices may be able to challenge them if the notice is invalid or retaliatory.
Each state has a tenancy tribunal that handles disputes between landlords and tenants.
