RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES

In reply to the Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (27 November 2008).

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy): I am advised that:

Section 62(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1995 is quite clear in setting timeframes by Regulation that security bonds must be lodged with the Commissioner. The period allowed by Regulation is 7 days for landlords and 30 days for registered agents.
