| Can a bond be claimed before the tenants move out?
Not normally. The bond is usually claimed from Renting and Strata Services at the end of the tenancy.
If there is no damage to the property and no rental arrears, the bond is generally refunded to the tenants.
If there is damage to the property, which is not considered fair wear and tear, or rental arrears, a claim can be lodged against the bond by the landlord or agent to cover the outstanding amount. |
