South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts4—Proceedings by landlord for non-payment of rent
(1) In every case
between a landlord and tenant, if—
(a) one
half-year's rent is in arrear; and
(b) the
landlord has by law the right to re-enter for non-payment thereof,
the landlord may bring an action for recovery of the demised premises without
making any formal demand for the rent or any re-entry, and the service of the
writ in that action shall have the effect of a demand and re-entry.
(2) If the lessee or
his assignees or other person claiming or deriving under the lease permits and
suffers judgment to be recovered in the action and execution to be executed
thereon without paying the rent and arrears together with full costs and
without proceeding for relief on equitable grounds within six months after
such execution executed, the said lessee, his assignees, and all other persons
claiming under the lease shall be barred and foreclosed from all relief or
remedy legal or equitable other than by appeal, and the landlord shall
thereafter hold the demised premises discharged from the lease.
(3) Nothing in this
section shall bar the right of any mortgagee of the lease or any part thereof
who is not in possession, if such mortgagee within six months after such
execution executed pays all rent in arrear, and all costs and damages
sustained by the landlord, and performs all the covenants and agreements which
on the part and behalf of the first lessee are and ought to be performed.
