Dear Sir/Madam

[LANDLORD/LANDLORD’S AGENT] FAILED TO PROVIDE DETAILS OF BOND CLAIM

I signed a residential tenancy agreement for the above premises on [date].

On [date] [the landlord/landlord’s agent] claimed my rental bond. 

As of today’s date the [landlord/landlord’s agent] has not given me:
•	a copy of a completed condition report; and 
•	copies of any estimates, quotes, invoices or receipts for work for which the rental bond was claimed.
 
I draw your attention to section 165 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (NSW) (“the Act”), which states:

“(1)  A landlord, landlord’s agent or a person on behalf of a landlord who makes a claim for payment of a rental bond without the consent of the tenant must give the tenant:
(a)  a copy of a completed condition report about the residential premises at the end of the residential tenancy agreement, and
(b)  copies of any estimates, quotes, invoices or receipts for work for which the rental bond is claimed.
(2)  The documents must be provided within 7 days of the claim being made.”

The Act provides that a breach of the above section is an offence punishable by a fine of up to $2200.

I have attached a copy of my residential tenancy agreement and [evidence that bond has been claimed].

I ask that Fair Trading investigate this breach of the Act and prosecute the [landlord/landlord’s agent] for the offence. If Fair Trading decides not to take action, I ask that I be provided with written reasons for that decision.

Please do not hesitate to contact me on [phone number] if you wish to discuss this matter.

Yours faithfully,

[Your Name]
