You must return the report, along with any notes and/or photos, to the accommodation within three (3) business days of moving in and you should keep a copy of the ‘Condition Report’ until the end of the agreement.
The ‘Condition Report’ is a very important document, as it can be used as evidence if there is a dispute about who should pay for cleaning, damage, or replacement of missing items at the end of the agreement.

I am vacating, can I use the Bond for my last month's rent?

Your security deposit and residence fees 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 agreement.
The accommodation will conduct a departure inspection to ensure that you have fully vacated the apartment before we check you out.
You will also need to complete an End of Residency Form, so that we can refund your security deposit, pay a departure cleaning fee of $130 and return your keycard. We aim to have security deposits refunded within 20 business days.
