OUR MISSION
ClaimMyBond exists for one reason: to give everyday Australians the tools and knowledge to fight unfair bond deductions — without needing a lawyer, without the stress, and without the cost.
THE PROBLEM
Every year, hundreds of thousands of Australian renters receive bond deduction claims. Many of those claims are inflated, legally questionable, or flat-out wrong. Landlords routinely claim the full replacement cost of carpets, blinds, and paint — ignoring depreciation, fair wear and tear, and the procedural rules that exist to protect tenants.
The information to fight back exists. It's buried in tribunal decisions, depreciation schedules, and state-specific tenancy legislation. But finding it takes hours of research. Understanding it takes legal knowledge most people don't have. And accessing professional advice costs more than many bond disputes are worth.
The result? Most renters either accept unfair deductions or give up before they start. Not because they're wrong — but because the system makes it too hard to be right.
ClaimMyBond was built to change that. We take the legal research, the depreciation maths, and the tribunal precedents — and put them in the hands of every renter, instantly, for free.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Australian tenancy law is surprisingly tenant-friendly. Depreciation, fair wear and tear, and strict procedural rules mean most bond claims are worth far less than landlords demand. You just need to know how to use the law.
Hiring a lawyer for a $1,500 bond dispute doesn't make sense. Our free analysis gives you the same legal intelligence that would cost hundreds in professional advice — because access to justice shouldn't depend on your bank balance.
A carpet claim in NSW is assessed differently than one in Victoria. We don't offer generic advice. We've built separate legal engines for all 8 Australian states and territories, applying the exact legislation and tribunal precedents for your jurisdiction.
We don't inflate your chances or tell you what you want to hear. If the landlord's claim is fair, we'll tell you. If it's not, we'll show you exactly why — with the section of law, the depreciation calculation, and the tribunal precedent to back it up.
WHAT WE DO
ClaimMyBond is a dispute intelligence platform. You tell us about your tenancy, your bond, and the deductions your landlord is claiming. In under two minutes, we analyse every claim against the relevant state legislation, calculate depreciation using official schedules, assess your evidence strength, and generate a personalised dispute strategy.
We produce a detailed report that breaks down each deduction — showing what the landlord claimed, what the law says it's actually worth, and the specific legislation that supports your position. For tenants who want to take it further, we generate a formal demand letter tailored to your state's tribunal process.
Our evidence analyser cross-references your move-in and move-out condition reports against each deduction, highlighting exactly which entries to present at tribunal. No more guessing which page matters or which photo proves your point.
