Why tie up your funds when they can be better utilised elsewhere? For a one-off small fee we will support you in securing the property, without the need of paying a bond.

How does BondFree work?

Bondfree is a bond deferment service, it is a hassle free way to secure a rental property without the need of a cash rental bond or security. If you are of good character and have a good credit and rental history, then BondFree will stand by you. You will only be required to pay an amount up to the value of the deferred bond if a tenancy breach occurs. **Applying is simple, apply here or just speak with your accredited BondFree real estate agent or property manager to find out how to submit an application.

Pay Once and Move On

As BondFree is a one-off payment, once your tenancy ends, you can just move on quickly without the stress of chasing or waiting for the return of your bond. Another benefit is that your landlord will be more diligent in making any claims against you due to the fact that they are not withholding your money.

What are my obligations?

BondFree is not an insurance product but a bond deferment service. You are still obligated under the tenancy agreement to the landlord for any outstanding rent or damage to the property, if an incident was to arise. Your accredited BondFree agent or property manager can explain your legal obligations in further detail as outlined in the tenancy agreement.

What happens if I have a dispute with the landlord?

BondFree is fair to all parties, we do not involve ourselves in the dispute resolution process. Generally, disputes between tenants and landlords are resolved privately by agreement or legally via mediation, court or tribunals. In all cases, we await the final outcome and anticipate that both parties will abide with the end result. In the event you, as the tenant, fail to abide with the agreement/order, BondFree will then seek to have them enforced - and we will work with you to achieve a suitable outcome.


Is BondFree legal?

Yes. BondFree conforms with all the government legislation. Our legal team will be happy to assist you with any enquiries. Email your enquiry to legal@bondfree.com.au
