Rent Arrears
If a tenant or resident does not pay their rent by the due date, they are considered to be ‘in arrears’.
If tenants become 14 days or more in arrears, they can be issued with the following notices:
- Notice to vacate to tenant/s of rented premises
- Notice to vacate to resident/s of a rooming house
Residential Tenancies Bond Authority
The Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA) holds all Victorian residential tenancy bonds, including those on rented premises and rooming houses
The RTBA holds bonds in trust for landlords/agents and tenants, or owners and residents, giving all parties equal say on how bonds should be repaid when a rental agreement ends.
Bonds are repaid either as agreed by the landlord/agent or tenant, or owner or resident.
