How it works?

Step 1

Create a membership

To get started you’ll need to set up your member account.

Use your online account to protect the deposit by lodging it with us within 30 days of receiving the deposit.

Give the tenant proof of the protection (called the Prescribed Information) within the same 30 calendar days of receiving the deposit.

Now that you have transferred and protected your tenant’s deposit with us, you are fully compliant. You can do all of this instantly in your online member account.

What happens if there is a dispute?

What happens if there is a dispute?

Step 1

Tenant initiates dispute

Your tenant can raise a deposit dispute directly with us if they disagree with your deductions when releasing the deposit.

You need to provide evidence to support your deductions. This could include a tenancy agreement, inventory report, photographs and any other documents.

All the evidence is compiled and sent to an independent, qualified adjudicator to make a binding decision. We will notify you of the decision, explain the reasons and transfer the awarded amount.
