Thank you for contacting the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) with your data request regarding the number of warrants of possession issued for the Wide Bay Burnett region.
Under section 350 of the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008, the owner of a residential premises may apply to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) to request a warrant of possession be issued to regain possession of a premises where a tenant or person occupying the premises refuses to or is unable to leave. The process and decision to issue a warrant of possession sits with QCAT. As such, we would recommend QCAT would be best placed to consider your data request.
