Residential Tenancy Agreement - Frequently Asked Questions
Does this lease work in my state or territory?
The template refers to the relevant State or Territory Residential Tenancies Act and is written to be broadly applicable across Australia. Each jurisdiction has its own prescribed form and mandatory terms, so check your local requirements and add any state-specific clauses before use.
Is this template legally binding in Australia?
When signed electronically through AirSign, agreements made with this template are supported by the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 (Cth) and equivalent state and territory legislation, with a complete audit trail attached to every signature. The wording is an Australian-aligned starting point - for important matters, have it reviewed by a qualified professional.
Can I customise the template before sending it?
Yes. Every field is a fillable variable - names, dates, amounts and other details are entered when you start, and the rest of the wording can be edited in the AirSign editor to suit your situation before you send.
Do the people signing need an AirSign account?
No. Signers receive a secure link by email and can review and sign in their browser - no account, app or installation required. Only the person sending the document needs an AirSign account.
