Holding Deposit The holding deposit amount is usually the equivalent of half the full bond amount, but we may require more if you are asking us to hold the property for a period over 10 days. Once this money is paid we can confirm that we are prepared to offer you tenancy subject to satisfactory references. As a holding deposit this money is non-refundable in any circumstances should you the applicant not wish to go ahead with the tenancy for any reason. If you are accepted and we commence the tenancy the holding deposit will be transferred into the bond account and is fully refundable at the end of the tenancy assuming there are no rental arrears or property dilapidations of any kind.

Contents Insurance You are required to take out contents insurance which will not only cover you for your own contents but will also indemnify the landlord against theft or break-in by forcible means, replacement locks following theft of keys and/or accidental damage to their contents. It is the landlord’s responsibility to insure the buildings and their own contents. TENANCY END Check Out A final inspection is done once you have moved ALL your belongings out.
