Can my landlord kick me out in Queensland?

Not without a reason. Most need 2 months' notice. Only QCAT and a warrant can make you go.

Your clock

• 2 months, not before term end: Most grounds
• 7 days to pay, then 7 days' notice: Unpaid rent
• 14 days: Other breach
• 2 weeks after handover day: Landlord applies to QCAT
• 1 month from finding out: Payback notice: apply to QCAT

The rule in Queensland

• A Notice to leave (Form 12) must name the ground. A fixed term ending counts.
• To dispute the ground, go to the RTA first.

An end of term notice cannot be payback for a complaint.

What to send

Please send the proof for the ground in your Notice to leave dated [date].
