Lease agreement review for Australian renters
Some leases contain clauses that are unfair — or not even enforceable under your state’s tenancy law. Upload your residential tenancy agreement and we’ll explain your rights and flag anything that doesn’t add up.
Review my contract — freeWhat we check
Bond amount and that it must be lodged with the state authority (not held by the landlord), rent and rent-increase rules, the landlord’s right of entry and notice, repairs, who pays water, break-lease costs, and clauses that try to remove your statutory rights.
Unfair vs unenforceable
A blanket “professional cleaning” demand, bond above the cap, or charging you for the landlord’s repairs may not be enforceable. We point these out so you can push back before you sign.
Your rights by state
Tenancy law differs across VIC, NSW, QLD and the rest. We tailor the review and tell you when to contact your state tenancy authority or a tenants’ advocate.
Frequently asked questions
Can my landlord keep my bond?+
Only for specific, justified reasons — and in most states the bond must be lodged with a government authority, not held by the landlord.
Are “professional cleaning” clauses enforceable?+
Often not. You’re generally required to leave the property reasonably clean, not to pay for professional cleaning unless specific conditions apply.
What if a clause breaks the law?+
An unlawful clause is usually void even if you signed it. We flag these and point you to your state tenancy authority.
