Residential Tenancies Act (Australia)

The Residential Tenancies Act in Australia regulates the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants. It covers key aspects such as lease agreements, rent payments, bond processes, property maintenance, and procedures for ending tenancies. The Act aims to ensure fair treatment for both parties, providing protections against unfair practices while establishing clear rules for resolving disputes. It varies slightly between states and territories, but overall, it creates a legal framework to promote transparent and equitable rental arrangements.
