Standard AI hallucinates
Generic AI often guesses the law, mixing up rules from different countries. It does not understand your specific Australian state legislation.

Strictly grounded in law
Our RAG engine is built on official tenancy legislation and tenant-union guidance. We do not guess. We reference grounded legal sources.

No, you likely do not have to pay for this.

Why renters trust our AI more than generic chatbots
Generic AI tools are good for everyday tasks, but rental disputes are too important for guesses. Our AI is designed specifically for Australian renters and explains things in practical, plain language.
Our AI is trained on trusted tenancy sources
Our AI is trained on official tenancy legislation and reliable renter-focused guidance, so answers are based on real legal context, not random internet opinions.
Our AI understands local and national laws
Rental rules differ between NSW, VIC, QLD and other states. Our AI understands those differences and also accounts for broader national context when relevant.
Our AI explains what matters in simple terms
You get practical answers you can actually use: what your rights are, what to do next, and what to say in messages to agents or landlords.
Our AI is built to reduce risky guesswork
We built the system to stay grounded in legal material and avoid made-up advice, so you can make decisions with more confidence.
We are not a law firm, but we are serious about giving renters clearer, more reliable guidance than generic AI tools.
What renters are saying
Our specialised AI is already helping renters understand their rights and get practical advice that saves time, money, and stress.

Queensland Renter FAQs: Know Your Rights
Expert answers to common QLD tenancy questions on rent increases, ending leases, and repairs.
How can I end a tenancy in QLD early? +
You must give a 'Notice of Intention to Leave' (Form 13). If breaking a fixed-term lease early, you may face break lease costs (re-letting fees and rent until a new tenant is found). In cases of hardship or domestic violence, special rules apply to limit costs.
What are the rules for rent increases in QLD? +
Rent can only be increased once every 12 months, even if the lease agreement changes. You must be given at least 2 months' written notice. If you believe an increase is excessive, you can apply to QCAT for a review.
Where can I get legal advice for tenants in QLD? +
QSTARS (Queensland Statewide Tenant Advice and Referral Service) provides free independent legal advice. The RTA also offers dispute resolution.
Who pays for repairs in a QLD rental? +
The property owner is generally responsible for repairs unless the damage was caused by the tenant. For emergency repairs (e.g., burst water pipes, no electricity), the tenant can arrange repairs up to 4 weeks' rent in value if the agent doesn't act immediately.
