Here’s what you need to know about tenancy checks in Queensland before leasing out your property.
A tenancy check is an important process that helps protect both parties. Tenancy checks are also known as rental background checks or credit checks and involve the tenant providing their personal information to the landlord or property manager for review.
This information is then used to make an informed decision about whether or not the tenant is suitable for the rental property.
Who can be listed in the database?
Tenants who have breached their lease agreement may be listed on a tenancy database. This includes, but is not limited to, tenants who have failed to pay rent, caused damage to the property or been involved in illegal activity on the property.
Before being listed, an agent or lessor must take all reasonable steps to notify the tenant of the proposed listing and give them at least 14 days to object. The tenant then has the opportunity to make submissions regarding the proposed listing.
For more information, see the Queensland Government website.
