It is madness that each state in Australia has different laws regarding rental bonds, ending a tenancy and other ridiculous differences. Uniformity across all states would surely save everyone money in the long run. What possible valid reason could there be to keep these different.
This is a good summary page of each state's residential tenancy laws.

Further down the page is a section on time it takes on average to evict someone.
I suppose it is an average across all states. Would be interesting to know the state by state figures.
Eviction for non-payment of rent
Duration until completion of service of process 3
Duration of trial 35
Duration of enforcement 6
Total Days to Evict Tenant 44
