IMPORTANT INFORMATION
TENANTS
You may apply to the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (SACAT) to reinstate the tenancy if you believe you are not in breach of your agreement or the breach has been remedied. If you do not remedy the breach (or apply to SACAT) the tenants and all occupants will need to move out of the premises with their possessions on or before the date specified in Part 3.
If you are a co-tenant under a residential tenancy agreement and your tenancy is terminated due to the actions of another tenant, you may wish to seek advice about negotiating a new tenancy with the landlord, or seek advice on whether options are available to make an application to SACAT.
LANDLORDS
Rent (or part of rent) must remain unpaid for at least 14 days before serving this notice on the tenant. For example, if rent is paid to 1 March (and rent is payable fortnightly), then this notice can first be served on 17 March for unpaid rent due on 2 March and 16 March. The 14 days do not include the day that rent is due.
If the tenant does not remedy the breach or give up possession of the premises on or before the date specified in Part 3, you cannot enter the premises unless the tenant has abandoned or voluntarily gives up possession of the premises, or you have applied to the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (SACAT) and received an order authorising you to take possession. You are not entitled to possession of the premises until the day after the date specified in Part 3—this is the earliest you can apply to SACAT for an order authorising you to take possession.
