About the RTBA

The RTBA holds all Victorian residential tenancy bonds in trust; these include those for rented premises, long-term caravans, rooming houses, and caravan sites under site agreements. When a rental agreement ends, rental providers (property managers, landlords) and renters (tenants, residents) have equal say in how the bond should be repaid. The RTBA releases the money as agreed. 

Interest on rental bonds goes towards running:

  • the RTBA
  • VCAT's Residential Tenancies List and,
  • Consumer Affairs Victoria residential tenancies activities.
