Episode 179 | Qld's New Pet Tenancy Laws - What you need to know!

New laws in Qld came into force on 1 October 2022. No more blanket prohibition on pets in residential tenancies! The new laws create more certainty surrounding how a tenant can obtain approval for their pets in a tenancy, whether a landlord can refuse an application, and what conditions a landlord may impose on a tenant for keeping a pet. The new laws apply to all tenancies, existing or new as from 1st October. If a tenant wishes to have a pet, they must apply in writing and the landlord only has 14 days to either accept, with reasonable conditions, or refuse based on one of the new statutory grounds listed in the Act. There are deeming provisions that now apply to landlords if they do not reply to an application within the time frame or refuse a pet based on grounds that are not contained within the legislation. It is a segment to watch for all those landlords out there, managing agents and tenants alike.

The show was designed to give back to the community which Despina did in droves. Her weekly radio show was broadcast on the Gold Coast each Thursday on 104.1FM Gold Coast/Tweed & 103.5FM Northern Rivers and had a substantial following since 2020. Despina talked about various hot topics at local, state and federal level, and answered the questions that ordinary Australians want to hear. And the best part, it was free.

In 2024, due to programming changes within the radio station itself, Despina then moved her radio show to being solely online on her Youtube channel: Despina Priala

Each week she brings another insightful episode of Talking Law for her loyal listeners and the greater Australian community.

Knowledge is power and Talking Law is very much about empowering the ordinary Australian with information that they should be aware of to help them in every day life.

All episodes of Talking Law with Despina are uploaded on the Priala Legal website and onto our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWmG7z-wIbsHY9KhFfrrWwQ
