Introduction

 "A little bit of research now could save you time, money and a lot of hassle later on... "


Many students who run into problems with their rental housing do so because they don’t understand the rules and processes of renting.

It’s particularly important to gather a little information before the start of your tenancy - getting the paperwork right in this initial stage is probably the most important way to ensure trouble free rental arrangements.

This guide has been put together to help you learn all the most important points. Spend a while reading through the processes if you have never rented in Queensland before (especially the ‘Before you sign anything’ and the ‘Starting the Tenancy’ sections) or use the table of contents to jump to specific information.

As well as the factual information, each stage has a section where you can read hints and tips from other students.
