FAQs

A lease agreement in Australia can last a minimum period of 6 months or as long as the tenant and landlord agree. However, regardless of the length of the lease, there are certain terms and conditions that must be met in order for it to be legally binding.
What happens if a tenant is in breach of their lease agreement?
If a tenant breaches the terms of their lease agreement, such as by not paying rent, the landlord is within their rights to take the tenant to court. The court will decide the outcome and, depending on the violation may require the tenant to pay a fine or be evicted from the property.
What happens if a landlord is in breach of a lease agreement?
If a landlord breaches the terms of their lease agreement, such as by not properly maintaining the property or not providing agreed-upon services, the tenant may be within their rights to take the landlord to court. The court will decide the outcome, and depending on the violation, the landlord may be required to pay a fine or be held liable for damages.
How long does a tenant have to vacate a property?
The lease agreement will stipulate the length of notice that must be given by the tenant before vacating the property. This should be checked and respected by all parties.

Early termination of a lease agreement requires the written approval of both the tenant and landlord.

The parties may also need to agree to compensation for any losses caused by the early termination.
