Document background
A New Tenancy Agreement is essential when establishing a formal residential rental arrangement in Australia. This document is used at the commencement of a new tenancy relationship between a landlord and tenant(s), whether for a fixed-term or periodic arrangement. It must comply with the relevant state or territory's residential tenancy legislation and typically includes detailed provisions about rent, bond, maintenance obligations, utilities, property access, and termination procedures. The agreement serves as the primary reference point for both parties throughout the tenancy and may be required by insurance providers, financial institutions, and dispute resolution bodies. It should be customized to address specific property features, allowed uses, and any special conditions while ensuring compliance with local regulations.
