During this time, we encourage customers to please call us for tenancy information and support or use RTA Web Services for essential bond and tenancy transactions.

Update: Changes to Queensland rental laws came into effect on 20 October 2021. We’re working to update our website and resources as a priority and more information will be available soon. Learn about the changes.
