Property managers are being advised to provide notices to leave when issuing fixed-term leases
A spokesperson said the government was aware of reports of the advice.
Nor was it “consistent with the stated policy objectives” that were supposed “to support renters enforce their existing rights without fear of retaliatory action, provide greater certainty for renters by ensuring tenancies are only ended for identified reasons and ensure parties receive reasonable and workable notice that the tenancy agreement will end”.
Tenants Queensland’s chief executive, Penny Carr, said the government should immediately act to restrict the “end of a fixed term” clause for terminating a lease to the first term of a tenancy, and restrict the issuing of the notices to leave to within one month of the end of any tenancy agreement.
