Lease agreement rules vary between Australian states and territories, but a written agreement should clearly set out the rent, payment method, term, bond, repairs and responsibilities of both parties. Check for extra fees, special conditions, notice periods, inspection and entry rules, and any required disclosures before signing. Keep a copy of the signed agreement and condition report, and do not agree to terms that conflict with your local tenancy laws. For current requirements, check your state or territory consumer affairs or fair trading website, or seek advice from a tenancy service.
