Why bonds get held in NSW
In NSW your bond is lodged with NSW Fair Trading through Rental Bonds Online, and it is usually up to four weeks' rent. For most Illawarra renters that's well over $2,000 riding on the final inspection.
At the end of the tenancy the agent compares the property against the ingoing condition report. Anything dirtier than when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear, can be claimed against your bond.
General information only, not legal advice. See NSW Fair Trading for your rights as a renter.Cleaning is one of the most common bond claims
Agents rarely dispute a scuffed wall from normal living. They do claim for greasy ovens, soap scum and dusty tracks, because those aren't wear and tear.
The condition report is the benchmark
We clean against your ingoing report, so the areas your agent will check are the areas we prioritise.
Disputes cost time
If you and the landlord can't agree, the claim can go to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Our photo report gives you dated evidence of the condition you left the property in.
A re-clean is cheaper than a deduction
If anything is flagged, we come back within 48 hours at no cost, before it turns into a claim.
