    $180k clean up costs? Lol

    I don't understand how the bailiff can auction off the property based on monies owned by the tenant, and not the owner???

    Tenants? They own the property and have done for a long time I recall.

    I think people get the idea they are tenants because of the misuse of the term "evicting" in the article. You "evict" tenants, not owners.

    The house is owned by Mary Bobolas and her adult daughters Elena and Liana, who bought it in 1970 for $25,000. It was expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2.5 million.

    While the responsibility for evicting the family might put some buyers off, agents felt that others would see the enormous potential of the 550 square metre land holding, with one neighbour on the same street having subdivided his block and built two semi-detached houses on a similar sized lot.
    ​
    Hang on a sec. "Evicting" might be the right word. If you are the owner, they would technically be squatters. Do you evict squatters?

    Seems like a repossession for finance purposes not a lease termination eviction.

    From reading it (from a different site today) it is the council recouping the $180K they've spent from clearing the junk on numerous occasions. It was suggested these women (mother and two adult daughters) had relatives who were giving them money to stave off the auction process.
