Information you must give new tenants

Landlords and agents must provide tenants with a copy of the New tenant checklist before they sign a residential tenancy agreement. Fines can be imposed if this is not done. The New tenant checklist replaces the Renting guide. You can print copies of the New tenant checklist from the online version or order multiple copies online from www.shop.nsw.gov.au.
