FAQ
If you want to stay on in the property once your fixed term tenancy has expired you should ask your landlord for a new tenancy agreement. The tenancy agreement should be for a fixed period of time, either 6 months or a year. Without a new agreement you will become a periodic tenant and can be evicted much more easily.
Give the landlord/agent a written termination notice and vacate move out and return the keys according to your notice, and/or. apply to the NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) for a termination order.
Explain the Situation Tell your tenant in straightforward terms what the problem is, and explain that they cannot stay on the property any longer. Describe the Consequences Calmly explain that they will be evicted with necessary court orders if they remain on the property.
Month to Month Agreements: For month to month agreements, it is generally accepted for the tenant to notify the landlord at least 30 days in advance of their desire to move. For example, if the lease ends on October 31, then the tenant should let the landlord know they want to move by October 1, at the latest.
Fortunately, it's perfectly legal and valid for a tenancy agreement to continue even after the fixed dates have expired. There's no legal requirement to renew the contracts. When a Tenancy Agreement expires and is not renewed with a new contract, the tenancy rolls into a Periodic Tenancy.

Contact Your Landlord You'll want to get in touch with your landlord as soon as possible, by phone or email, and explain your situation. There might be a simple agreement that benefits both of you, and in this case, you'll likely end up paying something like the remainder of your rent for the current period.
You can immediately file an eviction if the tenant refuses to leave the property. However, this is likely only the case if you did not accept any additional payments. If you took a rental payment from the tenant after their lease expired, you'll need to provide all the normal notices.
