In Queensland, tenants, especially those under retail leases, have specific rights and protections, including:
- Disclosure of lease terms through a disclosure statement before signing.
- Minimum five-year lease term for retail leases (unless the tenant opts out).
- Security of tenure, meaning tenants have the right to renew their lease if they comply with the lease terms.
- Fair and transparent rent reviews.
- Resolution of disputes through the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT).
