Looking to lease an apartment, house or a commercial property?
BondFree allows you to secure the property without the need of a security deposit.

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.
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.
If you are an existing tenant and have already paid a cash bond, apply here or speak with your BondFree agent on how to unlock your cash bond and release it back to you (subject to application approval).
BondFree charges a one-off non-refundable fee of 9.8% of the total rental bond value*. This means that your money doesn’t have to be tied up for the entire duration of the tenancy agreement and can be utilised better elsewhere, giving you the choice and freedom to make smarter decisions with your money.
A one-off account establishment fee of $69 is included in your 9.8% rental bond value payment, this administration cost is associated with establishing, processing and verifying your account.
If your BondFree application is unsuccessful, you will only be charged for the one-off account establishment fee of $69.

Your accredited BondFree agent or property manager can explain your legal obligations in further detail as outlined in the tenancy agreement.
You or your accredited BondFree real estate agent or property manager will complete the online BondFree application form with your one-off payment and submit it instantly.

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.
