👉 Tips for landlords using Bond Hub

Getting set up in a new system can sometimes take a little extra time, but once you're registered, managing your bond information will be much easier in the future.

If you’re a landlord with a bond currently lodged with Tenancy Services, you’ll need your Landlord ID when registering for Bond Hub.

- Your Landlord ID is an 8-digit number that starts with LNL (for example, LNL-12345678).
- Check your recent correspondence from Tenancy Services, including your spam or junk email folders. Most landlords received their 8-digit Landlord ID in November or December last year.
- If you have bonds lodged with us but can’t find your Landlord ID, get in touch and we can help.

If you’ve never lodged a bond with Tenancy Services before, or your previous bond is no longer active, you won’t have a Landlord ID and can register without one.

🎊 Today marks a major milestone 🎊

Landlords, all bond transactions are now online through Bond Hub and connected property management software. Paper bond forms are no longer accepted.

We know this is a big change after many years, and we’d like to thank landlords, property managers and tenants for their support as we modernise bond management.

Moving online means faster processing, clearer updates and a simpler, more transparent experience for everyone.

Tenants can respond to bond requests online and opt in to receive text (SMS) updates, making it even easier to stay informed.
