You lodge the bond (the rental deposit) yourself with your state's bond authority. Leasii never lodges or holds a bond. It helps you get it right and keeps the record.

On the tenancy page

Open the tenancy. The Bond card shows the amount, who holds it, its status and the date to lodge it by.

  • How to lodge in your state shows the steps, a link to the authority's official page, and the details the authority asks for, with Copy the details so you can paste them in.
  • Record lodgement: once it's lodged, enter the bond number and the date, and upload the authority's receipt. It's shared with your tenants in their app.

In the Northern Territory there's no bond authority: you hold the security deposit in trust, and you record where it's held instead.

At the end of the tenancy

The Ending page shows the bond refund: you propose how it's split, your tenants agree or don't in their app, and Leasii prepares the details for the authority's refund form. You or your tenants lodge the refund with the authority.

Each state's step-by-step lodgement guide shows in the Bond card, and in this help centre, once our team has checked it.

General guidance, not legal advice. For advice about your situation, contact your state's tenancy authority or a lawyer.
