Hi .. I'm asking for some advice, I don't wish to be judged please. Here is our story.. we have rented our home for 3 and a bit years. We got behind in our rent (foolishly) and agreed mutually to vacate in Jan '14. However the rental market was dry, we paid up the amount we owed and were allowed to stay on. Now, due to an astronomical water bill and CSA not chasing child support for my boys and hubby paying CSA for his daughter we have missed another week. Without warning we are being taken to the tribunal for the RE to take possession of the property. Our problem is we can't move before next Thursday due to finances, and tribunal is Monday. They won't negotiate a vacting date with hubby at all.
We've never been in this situation, wondering if anyone knows how long the judge gives you to move? Is it same day as the RE are saying or will they allocate some time?
The house is packed up, we are ready to vacate, but until we have funds we can't go. Nor apply for anything else.
Can anyone help me here?
Thanks Anon.. x

This is in WAbut my brother a few yrs back bought a house that had a tenate was renting they gave them 2 mths to vacate but they refused they took them to the real estate tribunal. At court they where ordered to vacate the residence within 5 days
im in vic and here you need to be 14 days behind before they can take you to VCAT (tribunal here).
Generally they will give you a few days maybe a week to vacate.maybe call your tribunal explain the situation and ask for advice on what to expect.
Good luck
