Queensland Rental Reform

The Queensland Government has asked for feedback from Queenslanders on their experiences living in, managing or owning rental properties, for the purpose of investigating state-wide rental reform.

Similar rental reforms are already underway in New South Wales and Victoria, allowing tenants more rights in regard to owning pets, placing limits on rental increases and providing protection against no-reason evictions.

While the Government is considering rental reforms to improve the rights of tenants in Queensland, the Property Council will be using the review as an opportunity to encourage Government to support the emerging Build to Rent sector, which would address many tenant concerns, such as security of tenure.
