Online Bulk Bond Lodgement

Important

Legislation to limit rent increase frequency changes came into effect on 1 July 2023. Rent can now only be increased if it has been at least 12 months since the current rent amount became payable. Learn more here.

You can use the RTA’s Bulk Bond Lodgement Web Service to lodge multiple bonds and bond increases online and pay for them in one easy transaction, via BPAY.  

This Web Service can only be used by joint lessors, agents, student accommodation providers and other property managers working on behalf of an organisation. If you are a private landlord or a tenant, please lodge your bond via the single Bond Lodgement Web Service.  

 
Note: for the best user experience, the RTA recommends using a browser other than Internet Explorer to access Web Services. 

Before you begin, you will need: 

  • your QGov login details (or create a QGov account
  • your organisation/joint lessor partnership’s RTA ID 
  • the main email address which the RTA uses for communicating with your business/joint lessor partnership
  • the rental property addresses associated with each bond 
  • names and unique email addresses for all tenants associated with each bond 
  • each property's bond number (for bond increases only). 

Note: If you do not have Australian-issued identification and cannot verify your identity through QGov, you can use the RTA’s paper Bond lodgement form and post it to the RTA. The RTA cannot verify your identity on behalf of QGov.

Remember: Any person knowingly submitting false or misleading details in this Web Service is committing an offence under Queensland law. This includes knowingly providing incorrect email addresses for any of the parties on the bond. 

Information on QGov, including how to create a QGov account, is available on the RTA's Understanding QGov page
