Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about reclaiming your bond
No. BondReclaim is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We generate informational demand letters based on the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. For personalised legal advice, consult a qualified NZ lawyer or community law centre.
If your landlord does not respond within the 48-hour deadline, your next step is to apply to the Tenancy Tribunal. Our letter spells this out clearly, including the potential for exemplary damages — which is often enough to prompt a quick resolution. We include a link to the Tribunal application process.
We cover the most common unfair bond deduction scenarios: normal wear and tear disguised as damage, unenforceable professional cleaning clauses, phantom or inflated repair charges, and landlords who refuse to sign the Bond Refund Form.
Just $49 NZD for the full demand letter. There's an optional $10 add-on to have us email the letter directly to your landlord from a formal legal address (legal@bondreclaim.co.nz) with read tracking.
The questionnaire takes under five minutes. Your personalised demand letter is generated instantly. Most landlords respond within 48 hours of receiving the letter.
BondReclaim generates a professional demand letter — the outcome depends on your landlord's response and the specifics of your dispute. However, tenancy law strongly favours tenants in cases of normal wear and tear or unenforceable clauses, and our letters cite the relevant law to maximise your chances.
In most cases, no. The demand letter is designed to resolve the dispute before it reaches the Tribunal. The credible threat of Tribunal action (including exemplary damages of up to $1,000) is usually enough to motivate landlords to settle. If they don't, the letter serves as excellent supporting evidence for your Tribunal application.
