Subletting a room in NSW: the most bond the head tenant can ask?
Answer: 4 weeks' rent
A head tenant's bond max is 4 weeks' rent, lodged with Fair Trading within 10 days.
They must not keep the bond in their own bank account. In a co-tenancy, a principal tenant registers on Rental Bonds Online, and each tenant's share goes on the agreement.
