General Tenancy Agreement (Form 18a) – Fillable PDF

The Queensland Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) provides the standard General Tenancy Agreement (Form 18a) for landlords and tenants. This agreement sets out the rights and obligations of both parties under the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008.

Using a fillable PDF saves you hours of manual paperwork. With Formize’s built‑in PDF Filler, you can complete every clause directly in your browser, sign electronically, and download a clean copy for your records.

Our online version mirrors the official RTA document, ensuring you stay compliant while enjoying modern convenience. No software download, no printing required—just click, fill, and go.

Below you’ll find a quick guide to the most important sections, tips for error‑free completion, and answers to the questions most tenants and landlords ask.

FAQ
  • Is the Form 18a PDF legally binding?

    Yes. As long as you fill out all required fields and both parties sign, the agreement is enforceable under Queensland law.

  • Do I need to print the form to sign it?

    No. Formize supports electronic signatures, which are accepted for residential tenancy agreements in Queensland.

  • Can I edit the form after I download it?

    Once you download the completed PDF, it becomes a static document. If you need changes, reopen the fillable version, edit, and download again.

  • What happens if I leave a required field blank?

    The Formize filler highlights missing required fields in red and prevents you from downloading until all mandatory sections are completed.

    No. The tenancy agreement fillable PDF is provided free of charge for personal and commercial use.

  • Can I use this agreement for a commercial lease?

    Form 18a is intended for residential tenancies only. For commercial leases, consult a legal professional or use a dedicated commercial lease template.

    Enter the bond amount in the “Bond” field and attach a separate bond receipt PDF using the “Attach File” option before finalizing.
