10.01.2022 The Tenancy Skills Institute is launching in Mackay tomorrow.

09.01.2022 On 29 March 2020, the National Cabinet acknowledged the need for short-term intervention in residential tenancies to avoid significant disruption to the residential tenancy markets arising from COVID-19. A set of principles were developed and endorsed by Treasurers to underpin and govern intervention to aid residential tenancies. These measures include: short-term protections for residential tenants who are at risk of eviction if they have lost some or all their income due ...to COVID-19 and have fallen or may fall behind on their rent encouraging tenants and landlords to agree on rent relief or temporary amendments to the lease through their own negotiations, including the reduction or deferral of rental payments for a defined period maintaining the ability for tenants in financial distress to terminate leases and/or seek mediation or conciliation acknowledging the need for cost-sharing or deferral of losses between landlords and tenants, with the Australian and state and territory governments to consider mechanisms to aid and advocating for participation by financial institutions investigating additional financial assistance to support tenants and property owners sustain tenancies during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was also acknowledged that landlords and tenants not significantly affected by COVID-19 are expected to honour their existing obligations and rental agreements. The Queensland Government is now moving to legislate the eviction moratorium as a failsafe measure that helps people sustain tenancies and for people to remain in their homes at this challenging time. Please refer to the Ministerial Media Statement at http://statements.qld.gov.au//special-covid19-protections-. The Queensland Government has launched an online rental hub at www.covid19.qld.gov.au/the-hub to provide information and resources to support discussions between property owners and renters.
