RTA Webinar: Renting for students Part 1 - Rights, responsibilities, and applications

25 Jan 2023

Changes to Queensland rental laws came into effect from 6 June 2024. Further changes commenced on 30 September 2024. Learn more.

Minimum housing standards came into effect for new tenancies (including renewed tenancy agreements) from 1 September 2023 and for all remaining tenancies from 1 September 2024.

We understand that for many students, this may be their first time away from home and seeking accommodation on their own. This webinar series will provide information and tips for the main stages of renting – before you rent, starting a tenancy, during and ending a tenancy.

Watch this 11 minute webinar for important things to know before you start renting, including: 

  • the role of the RTA
  • legislation for renting in Queensland
  • stages of renting
  • considerations about where to rent
  • the application process.

This webinar also provides information on your rights and responsibilities when renting.

You can also read more information on our students webpage.
