Tenant is informed of the bond refund process requiring property to be left in good condition and all belongings removed. a statutory period of up to 14 days after vacating may be needed for bond return. An itemized statement will explain any deductions from the bond.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dear Tenant,

Upon receipt of your 28 day Notice to vacate the premises, we would like to outline the bond refund process. The settlement of your bond will proceed following a final inspection of the property to ensure that it is left in a satisfactory condition. Please ensure all of your belongings are removed, and keys are returned on or before your indicated move-out date. Failing to vacate all possessions on time may result in additional rent and damages. After vacating, please allow a statutory period which is typically up to 14 days for the bond to be returned, provided there are no deductions for cleaning, damages, or unpaid rent. The exact timeline may vary depending on local laws and the terms of your lease agreement. It is crucial that you provide us with your forwarding address for the bond refund. Should any part of your bond be withheld, an itemized statement will be provided to explain the deductions. We hope that the move-out process is smooth, and we thank you for your tenancy. For any further inquiries, please contact us.

Warm regards,
Your Landlord
