## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Family Violence & Protection Orders](https://ailawframework.com/practice/family-violence-and-protection-orders.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the tenancy agreement and the evidence the client can show, complete the fields of the official notice or application: who is leaving or who should be removed, the date, and which category of evidence is attached. Do not invent a ground that the official page does not list. Flag if the only evidence is a document the client does not want the co-tenant or the lessor to keep a copy of. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides which statutory path applies, whether the evidence meets that path, the termination date, and what the lessor may be told. The lawyer checks every notice or application before it is given. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Check the notice against the official path for this place, including the evidence category and who may see it.

- What the AI does: From the tenancy agreement and the evidence the client can show, complete the fields of the official notice or application: who is leaving or who should be removed, the date, and which category of evidence is attached. Do not invent a ground that the official page does not list. Flag if the only evidence is a document the client does not want the co-tenant or the lessor to keep a copy of.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides which statutory path applies, whether the evidence meets that path, the termination date, and what the lessor may be told. The lawyer checks every notice or application before it is given.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Match the evidence attached to a category the official page lists for this place.
2. In New South Wales, confirm the landlord is not given a path that copies the notice or the evidence to a co-tenant.
3. In Victoria, do not use a notice-to-the-landlord path. The page describes a tribunal application, including for a person whose name is not on the agreement.
4. In Queensland, check the 7-day rent consequence and that Form 20 version 6 is the form in use, including a police protection direction as evidence only from 1 January 2026.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
