Residential Tenancy Agreement Template (Australia)

Renting out a property privately? A clear tenancy agreement protects both you and the tenant and is required in every Australian state and territory. Our AI drafts one aware of the state-specific rules in minutes.

Tenancy law is state-specific

Residential tenancies are governed state by state (e.g. the Residential Tenancies Act in each jurisdiction), each with its own prescribed terms, bond rules, notice periods and, in many states, a mandatory standard form. A generic lease can miss prescribed terms — so this document flags state requirements and recommends a check against your state’s standard form.

What it covers

The parties and property, term and rent, bond, who pays utilities, maintenance responsibilities, entry/notice rules, and end-of-tenancy conditions — all in plain English with placeholders for your details.

FAQ

Will this replace my state’s official form?

Treat it as a strong draft. Most states have a prescribed standard form or mandatory terms — the document tells you to confirm against your state’s requirements before signing.

Is it only for landlords?

It’s aimed at private landlords and property managers, but tenants find it useful to understand what a fair lease should contain.
