Rental Property Injury Claims In Queensland

Your Rights After An Injury In A Rental Property

Home should be a place where you feel safe. When a property defect causes an injury, the impact can extend beyond your health to your income & everyday life.

We’ll assess whether the landlord or property manager may be responsible & explain whether you may have a claim.

Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

A Landlord’s Duty To Repair

Queensland landlords are generally required to maintain rental properties in good repair & ensure they are reasonably safe for tenants and visitors.

We’ll review repair requests, inspection reports & other records to assess whether these obligations were met.

Landlord, Agent Or Body Corporate?

Responsibility may rest with the landlord, a property manager responsible for handling repairs, or the body corporate for shared areas.

We’ll identify who may be responsible for the hazard & explain your next steps.

Worried About Your Tenancy?

Many tenants hesitate to claim against their landlord. Queensland tenancy laws include protections against retaliatory action, such as eviction for asserting your rights.

We’ll handle all contact with the landlord’s insurer, so you can keep your focus on home & recovery.

Before Repairs Erase The Evidence

Rental injury claims carry strict time limits, and landlords often fix a defect quickly once it’s reported.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to confirm your deadlines and capture evidence of the defect while it’s still in place.

No Win, No Fee
