Would you potentially withhold keys to a residential tenancy if a bond wasn’t paid?⁠
⁠
⁠
Rental bonds are a fundamental feature of residential tenancy practice in Queensland, providing lessors with security against unpaid rent, property damage and remediation costs.⁠
⁠
⁠
Yet the legal character of a bond and whether its non-payment justifies withholding keys is frequently misunderstood.⁠
⁠
⁠
This article by our partners at Carter Newell Lawyers examines why an unpaid bond may not entitle a lessor/property manager to withhold possession of the property, and the potential consequences of getting it wrong. ⁠
