Question a bond deduction

Record what happened and where the supporting documents can be found. Documents stay with you; this tool does not decide liability.

Start with your outcome

Set out each charge, explain your position and connect the records that support it. You can leave unknown details blank and return later.

What you’ll need and an example response

Have the proposed charges, entry and exit condition reports, relevant photos and correspondence nearby. Missing a document? Record that in your response and ask for it.

I am asking you to withdraw the $150 cleaning deduction. The kitchen mark was recorded at the start of the tenancy (entry report, original page 3). Please explain how the proposed charge accounts for that record.

Fictional example. Your response should reflect your own facts.

Add the charges and supporting records, then review your response before sending.
