REIQ Contract Update Comparison

The Queensland Law Society and the Real Estate Institute of Queensland have prepared new editions of the two standard residential contracts, updating the definition of “Compliant Smoke Alarm” as a result of recent legislative changes. 

The definition of “Compliant Smoke Alarm” in the standard Contract for Houses and Residential Land (now 13th edition) and standard Contract for Residential Lots in a Community Titles Scheme (now 9th edition) has been updated as a result of changes to the Fire and Emergency Services Act 1990, introduced by the Fire and Emergency Services (Domestic Smoke Alarms) Amendment Act 2016.
