Is there any legislation that states you must be of a certain age to be counted as a person on a tenancy agreement? -Nadine, QLD

Q: Hello, when it comes to stating the maximum number of tenants on a tenancy agreement in QLD, specifically the Gold Coast. Is there any legislation that states you must be of a certain age to be counted as a person? For example – In NZ, the housing improvement regulations 1947, Section 19 (5) states that under 10 years you are considered to be 0.5 of a person and under 1 year you are not to be counted as a person at all. Does any such regulation exist in QLD for maximum occupancy rates to prevent overcrowding?

A: It would be best to contact your letting agent for guidance on this matter, as the topic is not addressed in the body corporate legislation. They should be able to provide you with more specific information and assistance.
