Hi Everyone,

Need some of your advice or experiences in dealing with such matter.

I have a tenant who is supposed to stay until 15th May since he does not want to renew the tenancy agreement. However, he is extending the stay until 15th June (i am ok with this cause i still hold an additional one month deposit at that point of time).

As of today 20th June, he still not yet move out and despite me getting the agent to push him hard either to move out or to sign a new one year contract, things are not moving.

In the worst case scenario, what can i do? can i report it to the police? or any other methods within the law?

Please advice.

Thanks.

What's the reason for him not moving out? As long as he is still paying you rental I don't think there's any problem. Sometime tenants are just looking for a new place or moving into their new house, which might take longer than they expected.

This is termed as "Tenant Holding Over".

You can only evict him lawfully through a proper court order otherwise everything you do is illegal. Police wouldn't really be bothered because this is a civil case and not criminal.
