Something I've been looking for lately has been a sample Australian residential tenancy lease. Sadly not being in a law library with easy access to formbooks and form databases, this has been more of a challenge. Particularly because I have been looking for a sample lease that was free, authoritative and not obviously biased in favour of landlords or tenants. I did find something, and that's why I'm blogging about it - to make it easier for other people to find such documents.
This sample lease was created by the South Australian Office of Consumer and Business Affairs. There are only a few things which seem specific to that jurisdiction. Because I was able to convert the pdf to Word, it's easy enough to remove those.
There are other free tenancy documents on this page - such as an inspection sheet.
