Part 2: Conditions of licence to live in

7.4.A.5 Member must comply with the conditions in this form

1.  A member who is required to occupy living-in accommodation, or who chooses to, may be permitted to occupy living-in accommodation made available by Defence. That permission is the member's licence to live in.
2.  A member of the ADF has a licence to live in when they are permitted to occupy living-in accommodation by Defence.
3.  Living-in accommodation is a benefit made available to members under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903. A licence to live in is not an agreement, tenancy or contract between a member and the Commonwealth.
4.  This Annex sets out the conditions upon which a member is permitted to occupy and use living-in accommodation. These are conditions on the licence to live in.
5.  The conditions in Chapter 7 Part 4 do not limit the legal authority of ADF commanders to issue commands or general orders associated with the use of living-in accommodation by ADF members.

7.4.A.6 Start of a licence to live in

1.  When the member takes the key to their living-in accommodation from an accommodation manager, the member must acknowledge in writing that they will take strict care of the property they live in under the licence.
2.  The member's licence to live in commences from the day they are given the key to the room that they are permitted to live in under subsection 1.
3.  Defence may provide the member with a list of the room's contents, listing the condition of the contents and the condition of the room, fixtures and fittings. This is called a condition report.
4.
