Can my landlord kick me out in Victoria?

Not without a valid reason. No-reason notices ended on 25 November 2025.

Your clock

• 90 days: Moving in, sale, repairs
• 14 days, at term end: Landlord's old home, per the lease
• 14 days, once 14 days owing: Unpaid rent
• can be same day: Serious damage or danger
• 30 days from the notice: Challenge a 90 day notice

The rule in Victoria

• It must be on the prescribed form, give the reason, and have proof for most reasons.
• Only a VCAT possession order and warrant can make you go.

Paying all the rent by the end date cancels the first four notices, not the fifth.

What to send

My notice to vacate says [reason]. Please send the documents.
