Boundary Fence Agreement (Australia)
A Boundary Fence Agreement (also called a dividing fence agreement or fencing agreement) is a written agreement between two adjoining property owners setting out the terms on which the dividing fence on their common boundary will be constructed, repaired, or replaced, including how the cost will be shared. While Australian fencing legislation in each state and territory provides a framework for the compulsory sharing of fencing costs between neighbours, a written agreement avoids the need for formal legal notices and tribunal proceedings by documenting the parties' consensus on fence type, cost, and payment arrangements before work begins. In Victoria, the primary legislation governing dividing fences between adjoining residential properties is the Fences Act 1968 (VIC), as amended by the Fences Amendment Act 2014 (VIC). Under the Fences Act 1968 (VIC), both adjoining owners are equally responsible for contributing to the cost of a sufficient dividing fence between their properties. A 'sufficient' fence is one that is appropriate for the locality, taking into account the use of the land, local conditions, and any applicable council requirements. If one owner wants a fence that is more expensive than a sufficient fence, that owner must pay the additional cost above the cost of a sufficient fence. Before carrying out fencing works, an owner must generally serve a fencing notice on the adjoining owner, and the adjoining owner has one month to respond. If the owners cannot agree, either owner may apply to the Magistrates' Court or the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) to resolve the dispute. In New South Wales, dividing fences between residential properties are governed by the Dividing Fences Act 1991 (NSW). Under this Act, adjoining owners are jointly and severally liable to contribute equally to the cost of a 'sufficient dividing fence'. The Act provides a process for serving fencing notices and, if the owners cannot agree, for applying to the Local Court for a fencing order. The Dividing Fences Act 1991 (NSW) also addresses the specific situation of fences adjoining public land, railway land, and Crown land. In Queensland, neighbourhood fencing disputes and agreements are regulated by the Neighbourhood Disputes Resolution Act 2011 (QLD), which replaced the earlier Dividing Fences Act 1953 (QLD). The Queensland legislation introduced a more streamlined process for resolving dividing fence disputes, including a requirement for an owner to serve a 'notice to contribute' on the adjoining owner before commencing fencing works, and a process for referral to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) if the owners cannot agree. In Western Australia, fencing between neighbours is regulated by the Dividing Fences Act 1961 (WA). In South Australia, the applicable legislation is the Fences Act 1975 (SA). In Tasmania, the relevant act is the Boundary Fences Act 1908 (TAS). In the Australian Capital Territory, fencing matters are regulated by the Civil Law (Property) Act 2006 (ACT). Each jurisdiction has its own specific requirements for fencing notices, cost sharing, and dispute resolution, but the fundamental principle — that adjoining owners share the cost of a sufficient dividing fence equally — is consistent across Australia. A written boundary fence agreement is the most efficient way to resolve fencing matters between neighbours. By documenting the agreed fence type, specifications, cost, payment arrangements, contractor, and timeline in writing, both owners avoid the delay, cost, and acrimony of formal fencing notices, tribunal applications, and court proceedings. A signed agreement also provides clarity about the owners' respective obligations and reduces the risk of disputes about what was agreed after the fence is built. Where the owners agree on a fence that is more expensive than the minimum sufficient fence to which either owner would be entitled, the written agreement should specify how the additional cost is to be allocated. For example, if one owner insists on Colorbond steel fencing when a timber paling fence would constitute a sufficient dividing fence, the agreement should record that the first owner is responsible for the cost difference. Similarly, if one owner wants a taller fence than the standard height, the agreement should record that the additional height cost is borne by that owner. This template is suitable for use between adjoining residential property owners in any Australian state or territory for the construction of a new dividing fence, the repair of an existing fence, or the replacement of a deteriorated fence.

Property Condition Report (Australia)
A Property Condition Report is the legally required document that records the state of a rental property at the start and end of a residential tenancy in Australia. It serves as the primary reference point for determining whether any damage has occurred during the tenancy beyond fair wear and tear, and is therefore the critical document in any dispute about bond deductions. Every residential landlord in Australia is legally required to prepare and provide a condition report to the tenant at the commencement of each tenancy, and a comparable outgoing inspection is conducted at the end of the tenancy to compare the property's condition. The legal requirement to prepare and provide a property condition report to the tenant is set out in section 29 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (NSW). Under this provision, a landlord must give the tenant a written condition report documenting the state of repair and general condition of the premises before or at the time the tenant is given access to the premises. The tenant then has three business days (in New South Wales) to review the report, make any comments or amendments, and return a signed copy to the landlord. The landlord must retain a signed copy of the ingoing condition report for the duration of the tenancy. In Victoria, the equivalent obligation is found in section 35 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (VIC), which requires the landlord to give the tenant a condition report at the commencement of the tenancy. Victoria has specific prescribed forms for condition reports that are available from Consumer Affairs Victoria, and the form requires detailed room-by-room assessments. In Queensland, section 65 of the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 (QLD) requires the lessor to give the tenant a general condition report and a pool condition report (if applicable) at the commencement of the tenancy. The RTA in Queensland provides standard forms for this purpose. The bond is directly linked to the condition report. At the commencement of the tenancy, the landlord collects a security bond (capped at four weeks' rent in most Australian states) and must lodge it with the relevant state bond authority: NSW Fair Trading in New South Wales, the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA) in Victoria, and the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) in Queensland. The bond is held by the authority on trust for both the landlord and the tenant, and can only be released with either the written consent of both parties or an order of the applicable tenancy tribunal. At the end of the tenancy, the landlord or agent conducts an outgoing inspection and compares the current condition of the property against the ingoing condition report. Any deterioration in condition that goes beyond fair wear and tear is the tenant's responsibility and may be claimed against the bond. Fair wear and tear refers to the normal deterioration of a property resulting from ordinary use — scuffs on walls from furniture, minor carpet flattening, and faded paintwork are typical examples of fair wear and tear that cannot be charged to the tenant. Damage caused by the tenant or their guests — such as holes in walls, burns, broken fixtures, or staining caused by neglect — can be claimed against the bond. The condition report is the single most important document in resolving bond disputes. If the landlord claims a bond deduction for damage, and the tenant disputes that the damage was present at the end of the tenancy, the tenancy tribunal will compare the ingoing condition report against the outgoing report. If the ingoing report recorded the item as being in good condition and the outgoing report documents damage, the evidence supports the landlord's claim. If the ingoing report was poorly completed, failed to record the initial condition of the item, or cannot be found, the tribunal may reject the landlord's bond claim on the basis that the landlord cannot prove the damage did not exist at the start of the tenancy. For property managers, completing a thorough and accurate ingoing condition report is one of the most important services they provide to the landlord. Photographs taken at the commencement of the tenancy (and cross-referenced against the condition report) significantly strengthen the landlord's position in the event of a bond dispute. In New South Wales, photographs are now required to be provided to the tenant as part of the condition report under the Residential Tenancies Regulation 2019 (NSW). This template is designed for use by landlords, property managers, and tenants in any Australian state or territory. It covers all major areas of a residential property including entry, hallway, living and dining rooms, kitchen, laundry, bedrooms, bathrooms, and external areas, and provides fields for recording the condition of each area with supporting notes. It also includes a bond lodgement reminder section to assist both landlords and tenants in understanding their rights and obligations in relation to the bond.

Property Management Agreement (Australia)
A Property Management Agreement is the legal contract between a residential property owner (landlord) and a licensed real estate agent or property management company that authorises the agent to let and manage the owner's rental property on their behalf. In Australia, real estate agents who manage rental properties must hold a current real estate agent's licence issued by the state or territory licensing authority. Unlicensed property management is prohibited in all Australian states and territories. In New South Wales, the regulation of real estate agents and property managers is governed primarily by the Property and Stock Agents Act 2002 (NSW) (the PSA Act) and the Property and Stock Agents Regulation 2022 (NSW). The PSA Act requires that any person who carries on the business of a real estate agent or who acts as a real estate agent must hold a licence issued by NSW Fair Trading. Licensed agents must be covered by professional indemnity insurance, must maintain a statutory trust account for all money held on behalf of clients, and must comply with the mandatory obligations set out in the PSA Act, including rules about the maximum fees chargeable and the format of agency agreements. In Victoria, real estate agents and property managers are regulated by the Estate Agents Act 1980 (VIC) and the Estate Agents (General, Accounts and Audit) Regulations 2018 (VIC). Consumer Affairs Victoria administers the licensing regime. Victoria requires a separate agents' representative certificate for employees who carry out real estate functions under the supervision of a licensed estate agent. All rental trust money must be held in a dedicated trust account that is audited annually. In Queensland, real estate agents are regulated by the Property Occupations Act 2014 (QLD) and the Property Occupations Regulation 2014 (QLD), administered by the Office of Fair Trading. A similar licensing regime applies in Western Australia under the Real Estate and Business Agents Act 1978 (WA) and in South Australia under the Land Agents Act 1994 (SA). A key obligation under Australian property agent licensing legislation is the requirement that agents maintain all client money in a dedicated trust account held with an approved financial institution. Agents must not mix client funds with the agency's own funds, and must account to the owner for all money received and disbursed. Monthly rental statements must detail all receipts, disbursements, fees, and charges. In most states, trust accounts are subject to annual external audit requirements. The management fee is the principal ongoing charge under a property management agreement. In Australia, management fees are typically charged as a percentage of gross rent collected each month, rather than a flat fee. Market rates vary by state and property type, but are commonly in the range of 7% to 12% of gross rent collected plus GST in most Australian capital cities. In addition to the ongoing management fee, agents typically charge a letting fee (also called a tenanting fee) for finding and placing a new tenant, which is commonly set at one to two weeks' rent plus GST. The management agreement must also set out the scope of the agent's authority regarding maintenance and repairs. In most states, the applicable Residential Tenancies Act requires the landlord to maintain the property in a reasonable state of repair, and the agent acts as the landlord's authorised representative in coordinating repairs with tradespeople. To protect the owner from unauthorised expenditure, the agreement should set a maintenance authorisation limit — the maximum amount the agent can spend on a single repair without the owner's prior written approval — with a carve-out for urgent and emergency repairs required to preserve the safety of tenants or prevent serious damage to the property. The agent is also responsible for managing the bond. In New South Wales, bonds must be lodged with NSW Fair Trading within ten days of receipt. In Victoria, bonds must be lodged with the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA) within ten business days. In Queensland, bonds are lodged with the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA). The agent holds the bond in trust and is responsible for claiming against the bond (with the tenant's consent or a tribunal order) at the end of the tenancy for unpaid rent or damage beyond fair wear and tear. This template is designed for the management of residential rental property in any Australian state or territory. Both the owner and agent should carefully negotiate and document the fee structure, the scope of the agent's authority, and the termination provisions before signing. The agreement should be reviewed by a solicitor familiar with the applicable state legislation to ensure compliance with any mandatory terms imposed by the PSA Act (NSW) or equivalent state legislation.
Rental Application Form (Australia)
A Rental Application Form is a document completed by a prospective tenant that provides a landlord or property manager with the information needed to assess their suitability for a residential tenancy. In Australia, the collection and use of personal information in rental applications is governed by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), as well as state and territory tenancy legislation that imposes additional restrictions on the information that landlords may lawfully request and use. The information typically collected in an Australian rental application includes the applicant's full legal name, date of birth, current address, contact details, employment status and income, rental history (including previous addresses and landlord references), and personal references. Landlords commonly also request identity documents — such as a driver's licence, passport, or Medicare card — for verification purposes. A credit check or tenancy database check is also standard practice in Australia, allowing landlords to access records of previous rental defaults or evictions held in national tenancy databases such as TICA (Tenancy Information Centre Australasia) or the National Tenancy Database. Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), landlords and property managers who are subject to the Act (generally those with an annual turnover of more than $3 million, or those who have opted in to coverage) must comply with the Australian Privacy Principles when collecting, storing, using, and disclosing personal information. This means that personal information can only be collected for a lawful purpose directly related to assessing the rental application, the applicant must be informed about how their information will be used, and the information must not be disclosed to third parties without the applicant's consent. Many state and territory tenancy acts also impose privacy-related obligations on landlords regardless of the turnover threshold. State and territory residential tenancy legislation also regulates what information landlords may collect. In particular, landlords cannot use a tenancy database listing against a prospective tenant unless the listing is accurate, up to date, and was made in accordance with the applicable Act. In Victoria, the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 (as amended by the Residential Tenancies Amendment Act 2018) and the Residential Tenancy Regulations 2021 contain specific provisions about tenancy databases, including requirements to notify applicants if a database check reveals an adverse record and to provide them with an opportunity to dispute inaccurate entries. In Queensland, under the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 and the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Regulation 2009, landlords must not ask for or use a tenancy database listing unless the listing relates to a previous tenancy that ended less than three years ago and the tenant owes the equivalent of more than one week's rent, or was found by a tribunal to have intentionally or negligently caused serious damage. Similar restrictions apply in other states and territories. A well-structured rental application form helps landlords collect the information they legitimately need to make an informed decision while ensuring that the collection process is transparent and consistent with privacy obligations. For applicants, completing a comprehensive application form clearly and honestly is the best way to present their suitability as a tenant and to expedite the assessment process in a competitive rental market. This template is designed for use in all Australian states and territories and has been structured to reflect the requirements of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and general best practices under Australian residential tenancy legislation. It should be adapted to reflect any specific requirements of the state or territory in which the property is located.
Right of Way Agreement (Australia)
Create a formal Right of Way Agreement (easement) for Australian real property. Documents the grant of a right to pass over or use another's land. Compliant with state property legislation and the Torrens title system. Suitable for private and commercial easements.
Strata By-Laws (Australia)
Create a comprehensive set of Strata By-Laws for an Australian strata scheme or owners corporation. This template covers all essential by-law topics including noise, parking, pets, renovations, common property use, rubbish and recycling, smoking, short-term rental accommodation, and enforcement procedures. The by-laws are designed to comply with the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW), the Owners Corporations Act 2006 (VIC), and the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (QLD), as well as the equivalent legislation in Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory. Strata by-laws are the rules that govern the day-to-day behaviour of owners, occupiers, tenants, and visitors within a strata scheme. They form a binding legal contract between the owners corporation (also called a body corporate in Queensland and some other states) and every person who owns or occupies a lot within the scheme. Well-drafted by-laws reduce disputes, protect property values, and ensure that the strata community functions harmoniously. This template addresses the most common sources of strata disputes in Australia. Noise is consistently the most reported by-law complaint across all states, and this template sets clear permitted hours for noise-generating activities such as music, power tools, and social gatherings. Parking rules specify the obligations of lot owners and occupiers regarding allocated spaces, visitor bays, and common property driveways, and address the growing issue of vehicle storage in shared areas. The pet by-law reflects recent legislative changes — particularly in New South Wales, where the Strata Schemes Management Amendment Act 2021 significantly curtailed the ability of owners corporations to impose blanket bans on pets. The template provides options for pet-friendly policies with appropriate conditions, as well as for schemes that wish to restrict pet keeping where permitted by the applicable legislation. The renovations and alterations by-law adopts the tiered approach introduced by the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW), distinguishing between cosmetic works (which do not require approval), minor renovations (which require strata committee approval), and major works affecting common property or the building structure (which require a special resolution of the owners corporation). This approach balances the right of lot owners to improve their lots with the need to protect the structural integrity and appearance of the building. Short-term rental accommodation is an increasingly contentious issue in Australian strata schemes. The template provides options reflecting the current state of the law, including the NSW provisions under section 137A of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 that permit owners corporations to pass by-laws restricting non-hosted short-term rental accommodation. The enforcement section reflects the dispute resolution frameworks operating in each state, including the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT), the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), and the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT). The by-laws require written notice of breach before tribunal proceedings are commenced and encourage mediation as a first step in resolving disputes. Custom by-laws adopted under this template must be registered with the relevant state land titles office or strata regulator to be enforceable. In NSW, for example, by-laws must be registered with NSW Land Registry Services to have legal effect. It is strongly recommended that by-laws be reviewed by a strata solicitor or licensed strata manager before adoption and registration.
Strata Levy Notice (Australia)
Create a professional Strata Levy Notice for an Australian strata scheme or owners corporation. This template generates a complete levy notice for lot owners covering the administrative fund levy, capital works fund levy, and special levies, together with payment details, interest on overdue levies, and dispute resolution information. Compliant with the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW), the Owners Corporations Act 2006 (VIC), and the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997 (QLD). Strata levies are the contributions that lot owners are required to pay to the owners corporation (also called a body corporate in Queensland and some other states) to fund the operation, maintenance, and long-term capital expenditure of the strata scheme. Every lot owner has a legal obligation to pay levies in accordance with their lot entitlement and the levies resolved at general meetings of the owners corporation. Failure to pay levies is one of the most common causes of strata debt recovery proceedings in Australia. This template covers the two principal types of recurrent levies. The administrative fund levy covers the day-to-day operating expenses of the strata scheme, including insurance premiums for common property and the building, strata management fees, cleaning and maintenance of common areas, electricity for common area lighting and lifts, garden maintenance, accounting and auditing fees, and other recurring costs. The capital works fund levy (formerly known as the sinking fund in NSW prior to the 2015 Act) provides for long-term capital expenditure identified in the owners corporation's 10-year capital works plan, such as roof replacement, repainting of the building exterior, replacement of lifts, and other major infrastructure works. In addition to the two recurrent levies, the template includes provision for a special levy. Special levies are raised by resolution of the owners corporation at a general meeting to fund unexpected expenses or specific capital works projects that have not been provided for in the budgeted capital works fund. Common reasons for special levies include emergency repairs to common property, the settlement of insurance claims, funding for significant building defect remediation works, or other unbudgeted expenditure. The notice includes a detailed payment section specifying the owners corporation's bank account details (BSB and account number), the account name, and the payment reference to be used by lot owners. Clear payment references are essential in strata levy administration to ensure that payments are correctly allocated to individual lot accounts and that levy arrears can be accurately tracked. The interest on overdue levies section reflects the legislative framework in each state. In New South Wales, section 85 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW) empowers owners corporations to charge interest on overdue levies at a rate not exceeding 10% per annum, provided this has been resolved at a general meeting. The levy notice makes clear that interest accrues from the specified grace period after the due date and that the owners corporation is entitled to recover overdue levies as a debt through the courts or the relevant state tribunal. The dispute resolution section advises lot owners of the steps they should take if they wish to dispute the levy amount or their liability, while making clear that a dispute does not suspend the obligation to pay. This is an important statement that reflects the legal position in all Australian states — levy obligations are not suspended by the mere assertion of a dispute, and lot owners must pay in full and seek credit or refund if the dispute is resolved in their favour. Strata managers, owners corporation committees, and individual lot owners acting as self-managed strata schemes can all use this template to generate professional, legally compliant levy notices for all states and territories across Australia.
Strata Proxy Form for General Meeting (NSW)
Create a Strata Proxy Form for owners corporation general meetings under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW). Authorises a proxy to attend and vote at Annual General Meetings (AGM) or Extraordinary General Meetings (EGM) on behalf of a lot owner. Supports general voting authority or specific voting instructions.
Vendor Disclosure Statement (Australia)
A Vendor Disclosure Statement is a mandatory legal document that a property vendor (seller) must provide to a prospective purchaser before the purchaser signs a contract for the sale of land in Australia. The purpose of vendor disclosure is to ensure that purchasers have access to all material information about the property — including its title, encumbrances, outgoings, planning restrictions, building permits, and other statutory matters — before they are legally bound by the contract. Vendor disclosure is a cornerstone of Australian conveyancing law and reflects the principle that property transactions must be conducted with full transparency. In Victoria, the vendor disclosure statement is formally known as a Section 32 Statement, named after section 32 of the Sale of Land Act 1958 (VIC). The Section 32 Statement is one of the most comprehensive mandatory disclosure documents in Australian property law. It must be provided to the purchaser before the contract is signed and must disclose: details of all mortgages and encumbrances registered on the title; all outgoings including council rates, water rates, land tax, and owners corporation levies; planning scheme information including applicable zoning and overlays; all building permits issued in the past seven years together with details of any certificates of final inspection or occupancy permits obtained; details of any owners corporation affecting the property; particulars of any notices or orders issued by any government authority; and any other material facts that may affect the purchaser's decision to purchase. If a Section 32 Statement is defective — meaning it omits required information or contains false or misleading information — the purchaser may be entitled to rescind the contract at any time before settlement, regardless of whether the cooling-off period has expired. This right to rescind for a defective vendor statement is a powerful protection for purchasers and a significant risk for vendors who fail to comply with their disclosure obligations. In New South Wales, the equivalent disclosure framework operates through the mandatory annexures that must be attached to the contract for sale under section 52A of the Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW) and the Conveyancing (Sale of Land) Regulation 2022. Rather than a separate vendor's statement, NSW law requires the vendor to attach a current title search, a drainage diagram, a sewer service diagram, a section 10.7 planning certificate under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, and copies of all documents creating easements, covenants, or other registered interests. If any required annexure is missing, the purchaser may rescind at any time before settlement. In Queensland, vendors of residential property are required to complete a Property Disclosure Statement under the Property Occupations Act 2014 (QLD), which requires disclosure of disputes with neighbours, pool safety certificates, environmental management registers, and other matters. In Western Australia and South Australia, similar disclosure obligations arise under the relevant property law and land business legislation. The disclosure obligations vary in scope and format between states, but the underlying principle is consistent: a vendor must not conceal or misrepresent material information about the property. Disclosure must extend not only to registered encumbrances but also to known structural defects, outstanding orders, environmental issues, and any other circumstances that would be material to a reasonable purchaser. Vendors must ensure that the information in their disclosure statement is current, accurate, and complete. Where circumstances change between the date of the disclosure statement and the date of settlement, vendors should notify their solicitor or conveyancer promptly so that updated disclosure can be made. Purchasers are strongly advised to engage a licensed solicitor or conveyancer to review the vendor's disclosure statement and the attached contract documents before signing.
