What clients usually ask
Can I remove a tenant myself?
Do not assume that self-help is lawful. Obtain advice on the occupation and the required process before taking action.
The usual first steps
- Review the lease, payments and occupation history.
- Assess the notices and evidence required.
- Use the appropriate court process where eviction is sought.
What to bring
Bring the agreement, court papers, notices, messages, dates and records that show what happened. Preserve original documents and electronic evidence without altering them.
