About a notice to remedy breach
About a notice to remedy breach (Form R11)
A notice to remedy breach (form R11) is a written document, warning the other party that they have broken the rooming accommodation agreement (form R18) and asking them to fix the problem.
If the resident receives a notice to remedy breach, it will include:
- the name of the person giving the warning (the owner, provider or real estate agent)
- the name of the person being warned (the resident's)
- what the resident has done to break the agreement. The resident may have broken a house rule or be behind in their rent. If the resident is behind in their rent, the form should say how much is owing and provide enough information so the resident can understand how the amount owing has been calculated
- what the resident needs to do to fix the problem (e.g. the provider may state that the resident must stop playing loud music after 10.00pm or ask the resident to pay the rent they owe
- how long the resident has to fix the problem. If the resident has broken a house rule, they should be given at least five days to fix the problem. If the resident is behind in their rent, they may be given two to four days to catch up. The amount of time depends on how long the resident has lived there. The resident should contact the RTA, their local TAASQ office or the Tenants Union of Queensland to check if they have been given enough time to fix the problem.
- the signature of the person giving the warning.
Remember: The resident can give the manager a notice to remedy breach if they think the provider has broken the rooming accommodation agreement. The resident usually has to give them five days to fix the problem.
