Residential Tenancies Authority Queensland: Remember, new rental laws commence on 1 October 2022
/27 September 2022
The Queensland Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) is encouraging tenants, property managers, and property owners to take time to understand the upcoming rental law reforms, including how the changes may impact their rights and obligations, and to make necessary preparations.
Changes from 1 October 2022 will include:
providing tenants and property owners/managers with a wider range of specific reasons to end a tenancy with the appropriate notice periods
introducing a framework to support negotiations about renting with pets
introducing repair orders as an additional pathway for tenants to have repairs addressed in a timely manner.
The RTA provides information and resources on the changes. Additionally, anyone can register for a free information session.
