Painters in Logan work under Queensland's rules, the same as Brisbane's: a QBCC licence for painting work valued at more than $3,300, and your licensed name, licence number and a statement that you're licensed under the QBCC Act shown in your advertising, website included. Our Brisbane painters page explains those rules and what the QBCC says about painting defects. This section is about something more particular to Logan: how much of its housing is rented.
The Residential Tenancies Authority held 48,480 bonds for Logan rentals on 30 September 2026, up from 25,219 at the end of March 2012. Four-bedroom houses account for the largest part of that rise, from 6,951 bonds to 17,292, and they now make up more than a third of all bonds held in the city, against about 11% in Brisbane City. In the year to September 2026, 15,140 new bonds were lodged in Logan. Logan Reserve led the suburbs with 1,242, followed by Park Ridge with 1,149 and Yarrabilba with 1,069, then Greenbank and Woodridge.
Who pays for paint when a tenancy ends depends on why it's needed. Among its fair wear and tear examples, the RTA lists paint fading from sunlight as the owner's responsibility, and paint discoloured by candle smoke or plaster chipped by hammered-in nails as damage the tenant is responsible for. That's why itemised invoices matter to agencies. Whether a particular bond claim succeeds is for the manager, the tenant and the RTA to settle, so your site should describe how you quote and invoice, not interpret the rules.
A lot of those rentals are recent houses in the south of the city. Yarrabilba, about 20 km south of Logan Central, is a priority development area declared in October 2010 and planned by Economic Development Queensland for up to 20,000 homes over 20 to 30 years, and Greater Flagstone is another. Builders there need painters for new homes, and the investors who buy them need painters between tenants. Bodies corporate play a much smaller part than on the coast: a Titles Queensland count last updated in February 2022 put 1,409 community titles schemes in Logan, compared with 13,490 on the Gold Coast, so most Logan painters can lead with houses.
We're an Adelaide team at Hutt St and work with Logan businesses by phone and email; we don't visit job sites. You send your licence details, the suburbs you cover, a few before-and-after pairs and the agencies or builders you already work for, and we send back a draft link you can check between jobs.
