The last Tenancy Tribunal hearing date for 2019 is Friday 20 December. Hearings will begin again on Tuesday 7 January 2020.

Lodging or refunding bonds

If you are a landlord or tenant you can lodge your bonds with us online.

It normally takes us about 5-10 working days to process bond refunds, and 10-15 working days for bond lodgements. Please note bonds may take slightly longer to process over this period due to the statutory days.

Bond lodgements, transfers and refunds.

We wish you a safe and happy holiday season.
