Navigating Lease Transfer by States

In Australia, rental laws vary from state to state, and lease transfers are no exception. Each state and territory has its own set of rules, forms, and processes governing how a lease can be transferred, assigned, or sublet. We provide general guidance on these rules, but we always recommend that users check with their local tenancy authority or seek advice to ensure compliance with local laws. To support this, Leasetransfer.com.au offers state-specific resources and helpful links for a smoother lease transfer experience.

Whether you’re a current tenant or a future one, Leasetrasnfer is here to make the process clear and convenient — wherever you are in Australia.
