Bond and security deposits
At the start of your tenancy, slowly build up a “record” of your history by recording the contact you have with any person connected to the rental property as well as your comments. This is not for the new landlord or estate agent, it is your evidence in the event of a bond refund dispute. By starting with the end in mind, you can prepare a strong case easily. We will show you how using our Tenancy Electronic Record Management System (TERMS)!
