Bond lodgement checklist (NZ)
Bond administration is mostly about timing and records. A simple process prevents expensive mistakes.
Step-by-step checklist
- Record the bond amount and payment date.
- Confirm the tenancy details and payer details are accurate.
- Complete lodgement paperwork/workflow promptly.
- Store receipts, references, and confirmation notes.
- Track any later bond adjustments and final outcomes.
What to keep in your records
Keep the lodgement confirmation, reference numbers, dates, and tenant communications in one place. This makes end-of-tenancy processing smoother.
