Link to QCAT's residential tenancy dispute page and Form 2, with a guide to which disputes are urgent, the requirement to go through RTA dispute resolution first for non-urgent disputes, and attaching the notice of unresolved dispute.

## Key facts

- Kind: Form. A form to complete, or a guide to completing an official one.
- Practice area: [Residential Tenancies](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/residential-tenancies.md)
- Jurisdictions: Queensland
- AI level: Yellow. AI can help in set ways. A lawyer checks specific points before use.
- Law stated as at: 2026-10-18
- Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-18 against the official form at qcat.qld.gov.au and the 3 authorities it cites, for Queensland.

## When to use it

Use when a lessor, tenant, rooming accommodation provider or resident in Queensland applies to QCAT about a residential tenancy or rooming accommodation dispute.

## Used for these tasks

- [Prepare the tribunal application for a termination and possession order](https://ailawframework.com/practice/residential-tenancies.md#A57-N20261018-3)
- [Build the bond claim schedule from the condition reports](https://ailawframework.com/practice/residential-tenancies.md#A57-N20261018-5)

## How AI may be used

AI may check the application against the tribunal's form and the documents on file and draft the orders sought for the lawyer to settle; the lawyer checks every statement and order in each application before it is signed and lodged.

**AI may:**

- Check every part of the draft application is complete and the respondent's name and address for service match the documents
- Draft the orders sought, citing the section numbers the lawyer has identified, for the lawyer to settle
- Index the supporting documents (agreements, notices, receipts, photos, correspondence) with dates and sources

**AI must not:**

- Must not decide which orders to seek or which section of the Act applies
- Must not write a party's statement of what happened in their own words, or any evidence that will be signed or sworn
- Must not sign or lodge the application

**The lawyer checks:**

- Whether the dispute is urgent (straight to QCAT) or non-urgent (RTA dispute resolution first)
- For a non-urgent dispute, the RTA notice of unresolved dispute attached to Form 2
- Correct parties and the premises address
- Orders sought and the reasons for them settled by the lawyer

## Authorities
