Tenant rights vary between Australian states and territories, but generally include a safe, reasonably maintained home, privacy, proper notice for inspections and clear rules around rent increases and ending a tenancy. Landlords or agents usually must follow set processes for urgent repairs, bond handling and notices, while tenants must pay rent and look after the property. Keep copies of the lease, condition report, rent receipts and written messages. Check your state or territory’s tenancy authority for current rules, or seek advice from a tenancy service or qualified legal professional about your circumstances.
