NEW Use RTA Web Services to lodge, refund or dispute a bond and to update your details

Important: The RTA is going paperless and will cease bulk printing of all forms and publications from 1 January 2020.

The Bond lodgement should be used when:

• lodging a full bond
• paying off the bond, or
• increasing the bond (weekly rent increases)

Filling out the form

Only tenants who have contributed to the bond and the property manager/owner should fill out this form.

Timeframe

The property manager/owner must lodge all rental bonds with the RTA within 10 days. It is an offence not to do so and may result in a financial penalty.

The RTA will issue an Acknowledgement of rental bond to everyone listed on the bond to confirm lodgement.

Lodging the form

• online: lodge and pay a bond online using credit card, debit card or BPAY
• post: RTA, GPO Box 390, Brisbane Q 4001. Lodge the signed original form with a cheque or money order (payable to Residential Tenancies Authority).
