What is a bond loan?
If you’re moving in to a rental property, you’ll usually need to pay a bond.
A rental bond is a sum of money that you pay to the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA). Each state has an RTBA. Their role is to hold the bond on behalf of you (the renter), and the landlord.
The bond acts like insurance for the landlord. If at the end of your tenancy, you move out and have left the property in poor condition (unclean, damaged etc.) the landlord can apply to the RTBA for part of your rental bond to pay for cleaning, repair etc.
The landlord can also use it to claim unpaid rent.
A rental bond is usually an amount equal to 4 weeks rent.
In addition to the bond you will normally need to pay 4 weeks rent in advance to the landlord.
How much can I borrow with a bond loan?
Spotter can provide you with a loan of between $2,100 and $50,000 for your bond loan.
How long do I have to repay a bond loan?

Are bond loans popular?
Today many Australians are choosing to rent rather than buy. As property prices continue to climb, renting may enable you to live in the area you like, not just the area you can afford.
Rental payments are often lower than mortgage repayments, and by renting you can move around to different areas and experience living in new places, without committing to a mortgage.
A bond loan can help you get established in the rental property you love and give you time to repay the loan while you’re living in the property.
A bond loan may also help you rent a better property because you’re able to afford a higher bond.
Don’t wait. Apply for a bond loan today!
