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.

You may want to take photos of your apartment at the start of your tenancy to further show the condition.
The owner may claim some or the entire bond for cleaning, damage, or replacement of missing items at the end of your tenancy. If the ‘Condition Report’ stated that the work was required at the start of the tenancy, or the items were not listed, it can help you prove the bond should be returned to you.
I am vacating, can I use the Bond for my last month's rent?
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. The property management offers a prepaid service for departure cleaning to assist residents.
