A tenant in Queensland wants to install a security camera system. What is the most appropriate action for the property manager?

Correct Answer

C) Pass the request to the landlord, whose written agreement the tenant needs

Installing a security camera system constitutes a modification to the property that requires the landlord's written consent under Queensland tenancy law. The property manager must facilitate this process and cannot unilaterally approve or deny such modifications without landlord consultation.

Answer Options
A
Approve it on the spot, since anything that improves security needs no consent
B
Refuse the request, because tenants can never attach fixtures to rental premises
C
Pass the request to the landlord, whose written agreement the tenant needs
D
Approve it on condition that the tenant pays extra bond to cover removal costs
