The Average Rental Bond Cost

Rental bonds can cost thousands of dollars if they're not split between multiple people.

Each state and territory has their own rental legislation for private rental accommodation, but the general rule is a bond costs a maximum of four weeks' rent upfront. In addition to four weeks of rent, you'll likely also have to pay two weeks of rent upfront at the start of the lease, known as rent in advance.

This could set you back more than $3,800 for the typical rental property in Australia!

A Jacaranda Finance personal loan can help you pay for your bond and rent in advance.
