Condition, standards, repairs, locks and pets – Queensland Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008

Queensland Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 s184D-E: s 184D and s 184E Answer a pet request in writing within 14 days, refusing only on a permitted ground

When a tenant asks on the approved form to keep a stated pet, the lessor replies in writing within 14 days stating whether it approves, any conditions, and for a refusal the ground and why the lessor believes it applies. The only grounds are: too many animals; unsuitable premises (fencing, space); likely damage not repairable for less than the bond; unacceptable health and safety risk; breach of a law, by-law, park rule or licence condition; the tenant not agreeing to reasonable conditions; or the animal not being a pet. 'No pets allowed' is not a reason. Without a compliant reply in time, the pet is taken to be approved, and approval continues for the pet's life through renewals and changes of lessor or agent. Working dogs need no approval.

  • s73E-F ss 73E and 73F Impose only reasonable pet conditions and refuse only on the listed grounds

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
