520			_aThis report has been written to provide Business City Council, and others, with a series of recommendations for residential tenancy legislation and related matters. Many of these recommendations naturally fall within the jurisdiction of the State Government. Despite this fact, it has been argued that as Brisbane City Council probably has the largest population of boarding houses in Queensland, it too has a responsibility to ensure that appropriate legislation is enacted to protect boarding house residents. The research project has attempted to consider: * the legal status of boarding house residents; * whether tenancy law should be extended to cover residents of boarding houses, and the extent to which that legislation should govern boarding house agreements; how boarding house residents view the introduction of boarding house legislation; and * the potential impact of tenancy legislation on the boarding house sector. The main finding of this report is that residents of boarding houses should be covered by residential tenancy legislation. Boarding house residents have few existing rights under the common law, and these are practically impossible to enforce.
