Retail shop lease disputes
Disputes can arise from a disagreement between a tenant and landlord about a retail shop lease.
These disputes are resolved through a two-step process which involves:
- mediation and
- if the dispute is not resolved at mediation, a hearing by QCAT.
To assist with your matter you may access the Register of retail tenancy disputes which provides information on all retail tenancy disputes lodged since 1984. This is available for viewing at QCAT’s head office.
