2026 Queensland Rental Application Form Changes

Description

The Queensland government introduced a number of updates to its prescribed rental application form on March 27, 2026. This form, originally introduced in May of 2026, has now been revised to reflect new requirements and improve the application process both for renters and property managers. These changes are now live in Reapit Lettings and 2Apply.

What’s changing?

There are several updates needed to bring 2Apply in line with Queensland’s revised prescribed rental application form. Our team will begin this work shortly, and the upcoming changes will include:

Settings changes in Reapit Lettings

Application Information

An Application information section will be added to the property page. This will allow agents to answer the required questions when listing a property. The answers will be displayed on the application form.

Question:

Are there body-corporate by-laws, park rules or other laws about keeping pets at the premises?

• Yes
• No
• Not Applicable

Changes to the Rental History page

The wording in the information bubble on the Rental History page will need to be updated to reflect the below:

The wording, ‘if you don't have any rental history, you can leave this section blank,' will be replaced with, 'if you do not have a rental history, you may provide details of your prior living arrangements by ticking “I am unable to provide some of the required information above (optional)'.

Changes to the Financials page

The following fields will be added to the Financials page:

• Employer Name
• Employer Phone
• Employer Email

These details will be added to the Financials section when processing an application and will allow for automatic employment reference sending to be triggered.

Changes to the Pets page

The following question will be added to the Pets page:

Are there body-corporate by-laws, park rules or other laws about keeping pets at the premises?

• Yes
• No
• Not Applicable

This will be a question answered by the agent and will be a display only question in the Pets section of the application.
