Important note

The Tenancy Tribunal Act 1994 was repealed on 1 July 2002 by the Leases (Commercial and Retail) Act 2001 s 172. This Act transfered all disputes between commercial and retail landlords and tenants to the Magistrates Court for resolution.

For information on the new legislation please see the Leases: Commercial and Retail Handbook on the Office of Fair Trading web site.

Function of the Tribunal

The Tenancy Tribunal was established by the Tenancy Tribunal Act 1994 (repealed) to hear disputes in relation to:

  • retail premises, or premises located in a shopping centre, other than premises with a lettable area greater than 1000 m2 that are leased to a corporation that is not eligible to be incorporated as a proprietary limited company under the Corporations Law;
  • small commercial premises that are not located in a shopping centre;
  • premises, or a class of premises, prescribed by the Code.
