When a tenancy agreement is entered into the landlord must also provide the tenant with an information brochure [Residential Tenancies Act 1995 (SA) s 49(3)]. A landlord who fails to provide this information may be fined $25,000 (expiation fee $1,200).

This explains the general rights and obligations of landlords and tenants under residential tenancy agreements in South Australia and also provides the names and addresses of agencies that can be approached for further information or assistance.

This information booklet, inspection sheets and all other forms mentioned can be obtained free of charge from the SA Gov- Starting a Tenancy Website.
