Review and, if necessary, add your comments to the ‘Condition Report’. You must return the report to the property management within three business days of moving in and you should keep a copy of the ‘Condition Report’ until the end of the tenancy.

The owner may claim some or the entire bond for cleaning, damage, or replacement of missing items at the end of your tenancy.

No, you cannot as your bond and rent are separate payments. You are required to pay rent in the specified way up to and including the date of your departure.
What happens when I vacate?
You need to leave your apartment clean and tidy in the same condition as when you arrived, ensure all personal items have been removed, and report any damage that may have been caused during your tenancy. This allows for a speedy bond resolution.
As a find step, you will need to complete a Bond Refund Form and nominate the bank account you would like your bond deposit refunded back into.
Who do I contact in an emergency or after hours?
