Getting Your Bond Back

To ensure you receive your entire bond back, we have prepared a list of things that if completed, should ensure a full refund.

RENT - Make sure all rent owing has been paid.  The final amounts will have been sent to you in your vacating letter or you can contact our office.

REPAIRS – All damage must be made good. Please contact the office for phone numbers of competitively priced, professional trades people.

CLEANING – If you do not wish to do the cleaning yourself we can arrange quotes from professional cleaners prior to your vacating. We are able to provide you with the number of our carpet cleaner. You will find his prices very reasonable. We doubt you will find a cheaper price.
