Queensland Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 s159-161: s 159 to s 161 Holding deposits: one at a time, receipted, refunded or applied to the bond

During the option period created by one prospective tenant's holding deposit (the period on the receipt, or 48 hours), no holding deposit is required or accepted from anyone else for the same premises. The receipt is signed and states the receiver, tenant and lessor names, premises, date, amount, that it is a holding deposit and when the option may be exercised. If the prospective tenant exercises the option, the lessor or agent takes all necessary and reasonable steps to enter into the agreement, and the deposit is applied to the bond and then rent. If the deposit is not forfeited and no agreement results, the lessor refunds it within 3 days of being told the option will not be exercised.
