The Moveable dwelling tenancy agreement is used when renting a caravan, moveable dwelling or site.

When a tenant moves into a caravan under a long-term agreement, the property manager/owner must give them a written agreement to sign.

It is the property manager/owner’s responsibility to organise the agreement and give a copy to the tenant before they pay any money or commit to the tenancy.

A tenancy agreement must include:

  • the name and address of the tenant and property manager/owner
  • the start and end date of the agreement (or state that it is periodic)
  • how the tenant should pay rent and how much is to be paid
  • contact details for nominated repairers
