Can my landlord kick me out in the NT?

Yes. In the NT a landlord can end a periodic tenancy with 60 days' notice and no reason.

Your clock

• 60 days: No-reason notice
• Over 7 days to pay: Rent notice
• Within 5 business days: Order takes effect

The rule in the NT

• Fixed term: 60 days' notice before the end, no reason.
• Rent 14 days late: over 7 days to pay, then the landlord can apply to NTCAT.
• Only NTCAT can order you out; it can suspend an order up to 90 days for severe hardship.

A notice missing the address, date or signature has no effect. You can ask NTCAT to declare that.

What to send

I received a notice dated [date]. Please confirm the signature, address and date.
