Question 8

What is a Condition Report?

Accepted Answer

Upon arrival, they must prepare a ‘Condition Report’, which records the property’s general condition, including fittings and fixtures, and present you with 2 paper copies of this Report when you come to collect your keys. Review and, if necessary, add your comments to the ‘Condition Report’. You must return the report to the property management within three business days of moving in and you should keep a copy of the ‘Condition Report’ until the end of the tenancy. The ‘Condition Report’ is a very important document, as it can be used as evidence if there is a dispute about who should pay for cleaning, damage, or replacement of missing items, particularly at the end of a tenancy. You may want to take photos of your apartment at the start of your tenancy to further show the condition. The owner may claim some or the entire bond for cleaning, damage, or replacement of missing items at the end of your tenancy. If the ‘Condition Report’ stated that the work was required at the start of the tenancy, or the items were not listed, it can help you prove the bond should be returned to you.

Question 9

I am vacating, can I use the Bond for my last month's rent?

Accepted Answer

Your bond and rent are separate payments. You are required to pay rent in the specified way up to and including the date of your departure.

Question 10

What happens when I vacate?

Accepted Answer

You need to leave your apartment clean and tidy in the same condition as when you arrived, ensure all personal items have been removed, and report any damage that may have been caused during your tenancy. This allows for a speedy bond resolution. The property management offers a prepaid service for departure cleaning to assist residents.
