Residential Tenancies Authority

The Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) is a self funded statutory authority providing targeted and dedicated services to meet the diverse needs of the Queensland residential rental sector. The RTA is available to assist all Queensland tenants, residents, lessors, property managers, caravan park managers and residential providers.

The RTA was previously known as the Rental Bond Authority and was established in 1989. In 1994, the name was changed and the role of the organisation was expanded. The core responsibility of the RTA is to administer the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 (the Act)[1] legislation. The RTA's main office is located at 179 Turbot Street in the Brisbane central business district.

The Act establishes the rights and responsibilities of parties to a residential tenancy. It applies to different types of accommodation including rental houses, flats, caravans, moveable dwellings and rooming style accommodation.

Governance of the RTA

As a statutory authority, the RTA is governed by a Board of Directors with knowledge and experience relevant to the Queensland residential rental sector. The chairperson and the six directors are appointed by the Governor-in-Council (i.e., the Governor acting on the advice of the State's Executive Council[2]) for three year terms.

The RTA is part of the portfolio of the Minister for Housing and Public Works.

So this section is offered more as an architectural design and as a request to solicit comments from the technical community. This software will be fully open source and it will also heavily depend on stellar-core which is also open source software, available here. This means that anyone in the community will be able to read, comment and propose improvements on it. Below are the Pi proposed changes to SCP to enable mining by individual devices. !!!

gollark: Ah, that makes sense then.
