What the scheme does
The Victorian Government says the Portable Rental Bond Scheme is optional, costs $25 and lets eligible renters transfer existing bond money to a new property through the RTBA platform.
The first property still closes separately
The outgoing rental provider can still make a claim about the first property. The official condition report, move-in record, move-out record and handover information for that address therefore remain important.
The new property needs its own starting point
Complete the official condition report for the new rental and photograph it before everyday use changes the condition. Do not mix the two addresses in one record.
Use the official service
Eligibility, repayment and transfer steps belong to the Victorian Government and RTBA process. BondProof does not apply for, transfer or guarantee a portable bond.
Official sources
Rules and processes can change. Check the authority that applies to your rental before acting.
