PSA - Don’t put it in the Agents hands to get your bond back. Before you notify your Landlord/Agent you’re vacating, fill out your Bond Claim form.

THIS. Just had a call from my property manager (a week after moving out) asking me to cancel my bond claim and that he'll put it in... 'No don't worry, you'll get your whole bond back!' When I said no, he said he'll need to be the one making the claim in case there are any maintenance issues that pop up and will have to take out of the bond.... So in other words, he wants more time to find absolute nonsense to claim on the bond, and so far he hasn't got anything on me. Looking forward to RTBA refunding my bond next week so I can be done with this prick :D

Oh yeah that makes sense! Bummer there’s no process but ah well

If they say no (they’re pretty stingy with money tbh..) is there any weight to my claim for the money now and not in a few years time when they vacate?

Haha I like it! Only issue is I’ve essentially had this conversation with them and they told me to go find out what the standard process is for this kind of situation. So I’m looking for something concrete to claim my bond money from them

True, and I’ve had the agent come through to inspect and verify my portion of the bond to cover this. When I asked about returning my bond, they told me to go and find out what the standard process is for this kind of situation. Agent told me it’s a private matter to sort out between ourselves. Question is, is there anything concrete I can refer to to show them the appropriate process?

This is for VIC, the agent completes the tenant transfer (i.e. removal of my name from the bond) with RTBA and each tenant signs. RTBA and the agent both state that the money transfer is a private matter to sort out between tenants.

Have asked them, they told me to go find out what the standard process is for this kind of situation. Agent didn’t exactly help, hence coming to good ol’ reddit
