Your tenancy and bond

Select your state or territory, then your tenancy details. Australian bonds are held by a state bond authority (except the NT), and are released when both parties agree or a tribunal orders it. This letter asks the landlord/agent to agree to release your bond.

This letter will cite

Your state/territory Residential Tenancies Act + bond authority (e.g. NSW Rental Bonds Online, VIC RTBA, QLD RTA). Disputes are decided by the state tribunal (NCAT/VCAT/QCAT/SACAT/ACAT/NTCAT) or, in WA, the Magistrates Court, and in Tasmania the Residential Tenancy Commissioner.

These forums are designed for self-represented tenants and charge low fees.
