Track rent, manage bonds, and keep rent receipts — free for Australian landlords and tenants.
Residential tenancies are regulated state-by-state (e.g. NSW Fair Trading, Consumer Affairs Victoria). Bonds are lodged with the relevant state bond authority, not held by the landlord.
Landlords report rental income to the ATO and may claim deductions; tenants keep rent receipts as proof of payment. RentyBase timestamps every receipt.
Rental bonds are typically four weeks’ rent and must be lodged with the state bond authority (e.g. NSW Rental Bonds Online, the RTBA in Victoria). Disputes are heard at tribunals such as VCAT or NCAT.
General information only, not legal or tax advice. Rules vary by region and change over time — confirm with the relevant authority.
A bond must be lodged with your state or territory bond authority — for example Rental Bonds Online in NSW or the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA) in Victoria — not held directly by the landlord. RentyBase records the bond amount and lodgement reference alongside the tenancy.
In most states the maximum bond is four weeks’ rent for general tenancies. Some states allow a higher bond where the weekly rent exceeds a set threshold.
These are the state tribunals that resolve residential tenancy disputes — VCAT in Victoria, NCAT in New South Wales, and equivalents elsewhere. Clear records and entry condition photos help both sides; RentyBase keeps them timestamped.
Yes — if rent is paid in a way that does not otherwise create a record (such as cash), the landlord must provide a receipt. RentyBase generates a receipt for every logged payment automatically.
Yes. Rent tracking, bond records, receipts, condition photos, and repair logs are all free for both sides — no subscription, no card.
