Bonds

Why you need them and how they help you

Bond is money that a landlord can ask tenants to pay as security when they move into a property. The Bond is held by Tenancy Services and can be used to cover unpaid rent, damage to the property or any claim relating to the tenancy. If you’re a tenant and you properly look after your property, and pay your rent in full, you should get your bond refunded after you move out.
