What we do with the tenant
Paying bond We require a bond payment when you commence your lease agreement with us. Bonds are generally set at the equivalent of four weeks’ rent in advance. Bonds are held with the Tasmanian State Government’s Rental Bond Authority (MyBond). Your Housing Officer will provide information on this process during your initial appointment with us and can also provide information on the No Interest Loan Scheme (NILS) if required. You can apply to have the bond payment refunded when you finish the tenancy.
contribution you pay It is important you pay your tenant contribution on time as outlined in your tenancy agreement. Your tenant contribution is used to: • ensure that Housing Choices Tasmania can continue to operate successfully; • pay staff wages; • maintain the property you live in including providing property upgrades; • pay for council and water rates, insurance, Body Corporate fees and utility bills for common areas; • support the construction of new properties; and • provide community and resident engagement activities. When people don’t pay their tenant contribution, it impacts on our ability to provide our service to the community.
