What is the procedure for paying and lodging the bond?
The tenant pays the bond to the landlord, who must lodge it with the Tenancy Services Centre within 23 working days. A Tenancy Services Bond Lodgement form, completed and signed by both landlord and tenant, must be sent with the bond cheque. Tenancy Services Centre will send both parties a confirmation letter and a Bond Refund form, and will hold the bond money until the end of the tenancy, when either party may apply for its refund.
