Description
Key things to know before enrolling in your Resident Letting Agent (RLA) Licence?
What is a Resident Letting Agent?
A resident letting agent rents out and manages units within a building complex on behalf of the body corporate or owners. They are responsible for collecting rents and handle all maintenance and management enquiries and issues for the building.
A resident letting agent may live on site at the complex or simply work on site. Many people become a resident letting agent as they enjoy the lifestyle and location that many unit complexes offer.
What course do I need to study to become a Queensland Resident Letting Agent?
To become a Queensland Resident Letting Agent you will need to study the RLA Course.
What will I learn in my RLA Licence?

How long will I have to complete my RLA Licence?
