Frequent Risk Signals

• Tenants refusing to vacate: Under Queensland tenancy laws, if a tenant's lease hasn't expired or they refuse to leave by settlement day, you cannot physically force them out without a QCAT (Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal) order, potentially delaying your move-in by 4 to 8 weeks.
• Leftover rubbish and furniture: The standard REIQ contract requires the property to be cleared, but if a seller leaves behind skips of construction waste or heavy, broken furniture, you may be forced to pay commercial removal fees ranging from $500 to $2,000 out of your own pocket if you settle without addressing it first.
• Settlement delays: Failing to provide vacant possession is a breach of contract by the seller, but delaying settlement means you might incur additional temporary accommodation and storage costs, often exceeding $1,000 per week, while the seller rectifies the issue.
• Inadvertently inheriting a lease: If the "Tenancies" section of your Queensland property contract is filled out with lease details, you are legally agreeing to take over the existing tenancy, meaning you waive your right to vacant possession and cannot move in until that specific lease expires.
• Loss of first home concessions: For first-home buyers and investors relying on the Queensland First Home Owner Grant or stamp duty concessions, failing to move into the property within 1 year due to entrenched tenants can result in the Office of State Revenue clawing back thousands of dollars in stamp duty savings, plus penalty interest.
• The "minor items" trap: Queensland courts have historically ruled that leaving behind minor, non-intrusive items (like a few paint cans or a broom) does not breach the vacant possession clause, meaning this buyer's risk requires you to carefully assess whether the leftover items substantially interfere with your physical use of the property.
