    What are the views on this....

    Tenant been in place for 2.5 years. No new lease signed, so part 4 applies. Everything above board....tax, PTRB etc. Good relationship with tenant to date

    But LL needs to move back in. Happy to give the 56 day notice. But absolutely cannot afford to wait any longer. However, tenant is leaving in 3 weeks to go travelling in NZ for 3 months.

    So tenant can't move out in 56 days, and for LL to insist that she moves out in 21 will go against part IV, and tenant would be within their rights to refuse.

    Rock and hard place spring to mind.....

    Them going travelling is irrelevant. Issue the notice, then in day 57 consider them gone, use the deposit to pay for storage of there things. When they return they can collect things or forfeit them

    if she's on the other side of the world, and she stopped paying (no money in the account, for example) I'd wonder how you could serve them an eviction notice?

    Make all reasonable efforts to make contact, and then pin eviction notice on a prominant place on the property (ie the front door) where it cannot be missed by the tenant.

    It doesnt quite work like that (you cant just assume that they are gone on day 57), but following the method I posted above could be a way to go about it.

    However, if the tenant can prove that they informed the landlord of their absense, then Im not sure that you can take measures such as the one above and clear the property on the assumption that they have vacated, when you know for a fact that they havent.
