This guide outlines key points on notice periods, open homes, vacating responsibilities, and bond refunds, all tailored to Brisbane’s rental laws, so you can move forward with confidence.
📮 Tip: If you’re serving notice by post, be sure to allow extra time for delivery when calculating the end date.

If there’s a dispute about cleaning, damage, or unpaid rent, the matter may be reviewed by the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) or escalated to QCAT (Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal).
