What are my Duties?
Your tenancy agreement explains your duties in detail. For example, you must not:

• Owe rent
• Harass other people, including someone who lives with you
• Use your home for illegal purposes
• Be convicted of any drugs related offences
• Make a false statement to get your tenancy; or
• Damage or neglect your home. (You must do the repairs you are responsible for)

If you are breaking a condition of your tenancy agreement, your tenancy is at risk. We can apply to the court for a ‘possession order’ to evict you.
