From 1 August 2025, new tenancy laws in Queensland will come into effect — and they could impact more than just your rental agreements.

If you’re thinking of selling your property, these changes may influence buyer expectations, rental yields, and how your property is positioned in the market. Shorter break lease periods, updated re-letting fees, and tighter rules on access and maintenance will all affect how investment properties are managed — and valued.

Whether you’re managing a tenancy or preparing to sell, now is the time to review:
• Is your lease aligned with the new laws?
• Are you planning to sell with tenants in place?
• Will the changes affect your timeline or sale strategy?

At McVeigh Property, we help owners navigate the full picture — from compliance and risk to presentation and market positioning. Whether you’re keeping or selling, it’s about protecting your asset and making informed decisions.

If you’d like guidance on what these changes mean for you, reach out for a confidential discussion.

Did you know your ceiling fan has a winter and summer setting?

Most people don’t — but switching your fan the right way each season could save you from costly structural damage, especially in moisture-prone homes.

Summer mode spins the blades counterclockwise, pushing cool air down to keep you comfortable.

Winter mode spins the blades clockwise at low speed, gently pulling cool air up and redistributing warm air trapped at the ceiling — helping to reduce condensation and keep walls and ceilings dry.

If your home suffers from moisture build-up — especially in older properties or those in humid areas — switching to winter mode during cooler months can help reduce damp patches, protect your walls, and minimise the risk of structural issues from long-term moisture exposure.

It’s a quick tip, but one many people overlook — and it could help preserve both your comfort and your investment.

New Queensland Tenancy Laws – What Do They Mean for Property Owners?

As of 6 June 2024, new tenancy laws introduced by the RTA have come into effect. While they aim to create a more balanced rental market, they leave many private property owners — especially mum-and-dad investors — without much protection.

One of the most significant changes is around break lease situations. Reletting fees are now capped at just four weeks’ rent, regardless of how much time remains on the lease. For property owners, that’s a serious risk — you might as well be on a month-to-month agreement.

Dispute resolution paths like the RTA’s reconciliation service or QCAT can be time-consuming, costly, and emotionally draining. Claiming bond money back — especially when legal support is needed — can become more costly.

Because these laws are so new, there’s very little legal precedent, and it will take years for proper case law to develop. That means many owners are left exposed and navigating grey areas alone.

At McVeigh Properties, we’ve already seen how these scenarios play out in real life — and we know how to protect landlords from the start. Whether it’s writing tighter agreements, screening tenants thoroughly, or managing your property, we’re here to make sure your investment is protected.

If you’re a landlord looking for clarity, security, and a real estate partner who truly understands what’s at stake — talk to us.
