Queensland Form 2
The form for lodging the rental bond with the authority that holds it.
Form 2 is the Queensland form for lodging the rental bond with the authority that holds it.
Always take the current version from Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) — a superseded form can be refused, and the wording changes more often than the rule does. Last verified 1 August 2026.
When you can serve it
Bond — capped at about 4 weeks' rent for typical rent. You can generate the Form 2 from the Compliance screen when the tenancy is eligible.
Getting it right
- Serve it the way the Act allows, and count the notice from when the tenant receives it — not from the date you wrote on it. Post adds days.
- Use the current version from the regulator. Ours is the rule, not the PDF.
- Keep proof of service. A correctly worded notice you cannot prove you served is the same as no notice.
- If the tenant fixes the problem inside the period, the notice has done its job and does not go further.

How LandlordMate handles it
LandlordMate tracks whether Form 2 is even available yet — the arrears day count, the notice window, the eligibility date — and generates it against the tenancy when it is, so the dates on the form are the dates the rule produced rather than ones you worked out twice.
