Part 2: Residential tenancy agreements – NSW Residential Tenancies Act 2010

NSW Residential Tenancies Act 2010 s15-22: ss 15, 19 to 22 Use the prescribed standard form with no prohibited terms

The landlord or agent makes sure a written agreement is in the standard form prescribed by the Regulation, contains any other term the Act or Regulation requires, and adds only terms that are lawful and consistent with the standard form. It contains no prohibited term, including a requirement to have carpets professionally cleaned or the premises fumigated at the end (except as a reasonable pet condition), to take out insurance, to use a named business, an exemption of the landlord from liability, a penalty, liquidated damages or remaining rent on breach, or a rent rebate for good behaviour, or any term the Regulation prohibits. Mandatory terms may be varied only in a lease of 20 years or more and even then not those in s 20(2). A prohibited or inconsistent term is void.
