LANDLORD USES LAWYER FRIEND TO EVICT TENANT

-

A court order is needed to evict a tenant. This is the message from Fijian Competitio­n and Consumer Commission (FCCC).

Apparently, a landlord has resorted to using his lawyer friend to make threatenin­g calls to evict a tenant.

The tenant has been true to his part of the deal with rent on time, however the landlord wants to increase his rent and to do so he needs a new tenant.

The lawyer has declared to the poor tenant that he is the law. Do not be fooled.

If you are an honest tenant know your rights.

And as it goes both ways, honest landlords can also deal with troublesom­e tenants by going to FCCC.
