During a tenancy, the tenant or resident should be aware of rules and guidelines which will help avoid problems.

Property managers/owners and tenants have a shared responsibility to ensure a property remains in a condition that is safe, compliant and well maintained.

There are two types of repairs for rental properties, routine repairs and emergency repairs. The property manager/owner is responsible for repairs needed due to fair wear and tear. If a tenant/resident causes damage then they are responsible for the repairs.

A tenant/resident pays rent for the period of the tenancy agreement. The amount of rent and how it should be paid will be detailed in the tenancy agreement.

Minimum housing standards aim to ensure all Queensland rental properties are safe, secure and functional.

The key to avoiding problems is good communication. At every opportunity people should discuss questions or concerns with each other.

A Notice to remedy breach is a written document that informs someone that they have broken the General tenancy or Rooming accommodation agreement.
