Upcoming changes to Queensland tenancy regulation and RTA forms from 1 September 2025

29 Aug 2025

Following targeted consultation with peak bodies and representative groups, the Queensland Government has replaced the 2009 Regulation with the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Regulation 2025 (the Regulation) which will commence from 1 September 2025.

The new Regulation does not introduce any new obligations or major changes. Instead, it:

  • clarifies existing requirements
  • makes minor administrative updates
  • simplifies forms and wording to make them easier to use.

Hear from the Residential Tenancies Authority’s (RTA) Senior Advisor Education & Engagement Lynn Smith about the changes and what they mean for you.
