Questions people ask
What can a landlord take out of my bond?+
Only rent you owe, the cost of damage beyond fair wear and tear, cleaning needed to bring the property back to its condition at the start (as shown in the entry condition report), and other money you owe under the lease.
What is fair wear and tear?+
Normal deterioration from everyday living: faded curtains, worn carpet in walkways, small scuffs, loose door handles. A landlord can't charge you for it.
Should I sign the bond claim form?+
Only if you agree with the amounts on it. Never sign a blank form or one with deductions you dispute.
Who decides if we can't agree?+
Your state's tribunal (for example NCAT, VCAT or QCAT). In Queensland the RTA offers free dispute resolution first.
