So why the emphasis on the first person in your OP ("I")?

The landlord has to apply for an eviction notice from a judge after giving the 7 days notice to the tenant .

The procedure can take many months .

"The landlord has to apply for an eviction notice from a judge".

No , he does not.  He has to give written notice to the tenant that he has a period of 7 days to leave the premises before launching an eviction procedure before the judge if he does not leave.

If the tenant does not leave after 7 days then a judge has to be the one to decide on eviction and not the landlord as most are saying here.

So i am correct what I say.

No, you are not correct, you stated that an eviction notice from a judge has to be presented giving seven days to leave.  The owner can give that written seven-days notice without the involvement of a judge.  If the tenant does not vacate the premises in the seven day period, then an eviction notice signed by a judge should be obtained.

 

EDIT:  Apologies, I misread your first comment, you are correct.  Seven days notice to leave, after that a judge's eviction order...officially.

Thailand.

The OP's gone quiet, wonder if he's clearing his room?

[James105]

Surely the solution to this is to find a property that you can actually afford to rent.  If you are already behind on rent then unless your circumstances change (higher paying job, inheritance, lottery win etc) then this is only going to get worse and I'm not surprised the LL wants to evict.   The right thing to do (regardless of law) if you cannot afford the rent and there is nothing in the future that will change that is to be honest with yourself and the Landlord and come to an arrangement so that you can move out and find somewhere that is within your budget before it gets to the stage where he changes the locks.

"Section 560. In case of non-payment of rent, the letter may terminate the contract. But, if the rent is payable at monthly or longer intervals, the letter must first notify the hirer that payment is required within a period not less than fifteen days."

 

The landlord sends a letter to the tenant requesting payment within 15 days. If the tenant doesn't pay within this time frame the landlord terminates the contract.

With the contract now being void the tenant has no right to be in the landlord's property, so if the tenant doesn't leave the landlord calls the police to have the tenant removed.

[worgeordie]

Look at it from the Landlords point of view , he has commitments 

too , you don't pay the rent on time ,maybe his family don't get to

eat,

Been a little late with the rent , (but not every month) would be

acceptable , but 2 months late , not on , maybe other things too,

as no landlord wants to lose a tenant , a good one anyway ,  I think

he would be well shot of you.

We were not discussing the period in which rent should be paid, that you referred to, we were discussing the seven-day notice to leave requirement.

unless you have a pretty valid reason.... then you're a deadbeat tenant. as said above this isn't toronto. i would kick you out too if there wasn't a valid reason for your late payment. 

 

don't pay your mortgage for 2 months see if the bank will let you promise them.

What is in your contract? legally you can be up to 5 days late and then they can fine you on most standard contracts but most if not, all have a llow 5 days in my contracts as bad tenants will take liberticlause added that says landlord can take back property after a default beyond 5 days I only aes and then it says I can enter the property without their approval and take back the unit.

 

You are two months late if you only paid one month's deposit then the landlord has already lost 1 month's money plus the utilities if you leave and if you have paid one month you are up to date, but he has no guarantee in case you leave.

 

The onus is on you to pay the rent. You have a good landlord who let you go 2 months late.

On the contrary Mr   Celsius 

Where is your proof.

 

You claim that there is a law.

 

Post the link and quote the law here on this thread.

 

If you cannot then there is no law, only your word for it.

 

So far in this thread you have proved nothing.

NOT paying the rent is NOT respectful at all.

If you are a landlord you have to know that tenants often do not pay the rent as the contract requires .

So many tenant's are disrespectful as you say . However there are tenants that pay the rent on time but cause much damage and that is costing much more money than a month or two of rent not being paid .

And you as an owner accept that. More fool you.

 

If you cannot pay the rent on the agreed date then I would not want you as a tenant.

 

If I were an owner I am in the rental business to make a profit and I would much rather have a tenant who pays on time.

 

If they don't pay, I lose money as I have to pay with no income from them.

 

When I rented the rent was always paid first, anything else came later.
