Private residential tenancy model agreement: easy read notes

Information about the statutory and discretionary clauses in the model private residential tenancy agreement.


39. Declarations

This clause includes confirmation (or agreement) by the tenant that, when the tenant signs the Agreement, the tenant has:

  • given the landlord or letting agent all information sought by the landlord or letting agent in connection with the Agreement - without concealing or hiding anything;
  • not deliberately or carelessly said or written anything which is untrue or misleading which might have affected the landlord's decision to enter into the Agreement; and
  • read and understood all of the terms of the Agreement including the legal commentary.

You and your landlord can agree to ‘sign’ the tenancy agreement by typing your names in the electronic document and sending it by email if you want to. If you and your landlord don’t want to do this, you can agree to sign a paper copy of the tenancy agreement instead.
