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 rental bond loan is simply a loan you can use to pay for your rental deposit and any other associated moving costs.
Instead of dipping into your hard-earned savings, a loan lets you repay that money over manageable instalments for a period of up to 36 months.
A bond is a sum of money paid by a tenant to a landlord or agent before moving into a property. It acts as security against any potential damage or unpaid rent during the lease period. The bond is typically lodged with a government authority, governed by state laws, ensuring fair handling and dispute resolution.
When the lease agreement ends, the bond is refunded to the tenant if there are no outstanding issues. Different rules may apply per state, so we recommend reviewing local legislation for accurate tenancy guidelines.

Most customers have a New Payments Platform (NPP) bank account and receive the money in their bank account within 60 seconds.
