Australian Tenancy Agreements

An Australian tenancy agreement is a legal contract between a landlord and tenant that outlines the rental terms, including rent amount, duration, responsibilities, and rules for the property. It protects both parties by specifying rights and obligations, such as maintenance, bond payments, and notice periods for ending the tenancy. The agreement can be written or verbal, but written contracts are recommended for clarity. Tenancy laws vary by state or territory, ensuring fair treatment, and tenants have rights like quiet enjoyment and safety, while landlords can enforce rules and recover damages if terms are breached.
