Preparing for new student arrivals to the Queensland rental market

Abstract

As Universities, TAFEs and other tertiary education providers finalise preparations for the 2022 academic year, Queensland is expecting an increase of international and domestic students.

Whether students are renting in purpose-built student accommodation, sharing a house with others or going it alone in a unit, it’s important they understand their tenancy rights and responsibilities.

To help students understand their rights and responsibilities, the RTA has helpful resources that can be shared with tenants, including:

• podcast episodes on various renting topics
• video resources tailored for students
• factsheets on tenancy processes, and
• the Pocket Guide for tenants (information statement) which is also available in other languages.
