Queensland end-of-lease evidence
The Residential Tenancies Authority publishes an entry condition report (Form 1a) and an exit condition report (Form 14a) for general tenancies.
What the official pages say
- Form 1a records the property at the start. The RTA says the tenant returns the signed entry report within 7 days after the later of moving in or receiving the report, and the manager or owner returns a copy within 14 days.
- Form 14a records the property at the end. The RTA says the tenant gives it to the lessor or agent, and a signed copy comes back within 3 business days. Do not send the exit report to the RTA.
- The RTA says photographs and video can support what is written on the form, and that the entry report is compared with the exit report if there is a bond dispute. Rental bonds in Queensland are lodged with the RTA.

Where BondFile fits
Use it while you still have the keys. Photograph each room, mark clean / undamaged / working, and download the PDF. Attach it to the official form or send it with a bond dispute. It does not sign the form for you, and it does not decide fair wear and tear. Reports, photos, and generated PDFs are deleted automatically 24 months after the report is created, so a move-in record is still there at the end of a 12-month lease.
