A bond is an amount of money that you need to pay that can be used by the apartment owner if you do not meet the terms and conditions of your rooming agreement. Examples of this include; If you fail to keep the property clean, cause damage or are in rent arrears, the owner of the property may claim some or all of the bond only when the tenancy ends.  The majority of bonds are refunded in full as most UniLodge residents vacate with no issues.

The bond is equivalent to 4 weeks of rent.

We do require for you to provide us with a Bond. A Bond is a security deposit which is equivalent to 4 weeks’ worth of rent. If you are an Australian citizen you can lodge/pay for the bond online prior to your arrival, however, if you are NOT an Australian citizen, the bond is payable upon check-in at the reception by credit card/debit card/bank transfer, and we will lodge the bond to Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) on your behalf. The bond is held by the RTA until the end of your agreement where it is fully refunded based on all fees being paid and no damages are made in the room. We will show you how to pay bond upon your arrival.

Upon arrival we must prepare a ‘Condition Report’, which records the property’s general condition, including fittings and fixtures, and present you with 2 paper copies of this Report when you come to collect your keys.

Review and, if necessary, add your comments to the ‘Condition Report’. You must return the report to UniLodge within three business days of moving in and you should keep a copy of the ‘Condition Report’ until the end of the tenancy.

The ‘Condition Report’ is a very important document, as it can be used as evidence if there is a dispute about who should pay for cleaning, damage, or replacement of missing items, particularly at the end of a tenancy.

You may want to take photos of your apartment at the start of your tenancy to further show the condition.

The owner may claim some or the entire bond for cleaning, damage, or replacement of missing items at the end of your tenancy. If the ‘Condition Report’ stated that the work was required at the start of the tenancy, or the items were not listed, it can help you prove the bond should be returned to you.
