Bond
As a tenant you have rights under the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 and Residential Tenancies Regulation 2019. This factsheet outlines the law in NSW about rental bonds, including ways to pay the bond, the landlord’s obligations, claiming the bond, and Rental Bonds Online.
About the bond
The bond is money you pay at the start of the tenancy as security in case you do not follow the tenancy agreement.
A bond is not compulsory but most landlords/agents ask for one. There are restrictions; the landlord/agent can only ask for:
a bond in the form of money (you cannot be asked for a written guarantee, for example)
one bond for the one tenancy agreement
The most bond you can be required to pay is an amount equal to 4 weeks rent (that is, the amount of rent you agreed to pay at the start of the tenancy).
The landlord/agent cannot require you to pay a bond to them before you sign a tenancy agreement.
The landlord/agent cannot require you to pay more (or another) bond when the rent is increased or if a new tenant moves in.
Paying the bond
You can pay the bond:
as a lump sum, or
in instalments starting from when you sign the tenancy agreement – if the landlord agrees
When you pay the bond, the landlord/agent must give you:
a receipt for any payment/s you make – unless details of the payment are recorded in your tenancy agreement
a ‘Bond Lodgement’ form with details about how much bond you have paid – this will be sent off with the bond
You and the landlord/agent should sign the lodgement form.
Help with paying the bond
The ‘Rentstart’ scheme offers help to people with low incomes renting in the private market to pay the bond. Apply through your local DCJ Housing office.
Deposit of the bond
The landlord/agent must deposit the bond with NSW Fair Trading. For lump-sum payments:
a landlord must deposit the bond within 10 working days after it is paid
an agent must deposit the bond within 10 working days after the end of the month
For a bond paid in instalments, the periods for depositing the bond with Fair Trading vary according to when your instalments are made. (Contact Fair Trading for more information.)
Once the landlord/agent has deposited the bond, Fair Trading will send you a deposit notice and a rental bond number. Keep these in a safe place with your tenancy agreement.
If you do not receive a deposit notice, contact Fair Trading to find out if landlord/agent has deposited the bond. If the landlord/agent does not deposit the bond within the required period, they can be fined up to $2,200.
罚款$2200如果用租房中介的标准合同,中介说是房东自己管理房子,但是租房中介要求把押金交给房东,这样租房中介是否违反了规定?
