Agree on payment schedule and Bond.

We recommend that a bond of at least two weeks rental, and the full rental amount for the period, is deposited to a neutral third party’s trust account at least three months before the start of the tenancy.

That the full rent for the period is paid to the Homeowner only when the Visitor has arrived and taken occupation of the home.

The bond is repaid to the Visitor after a final inspection of the House.

We recommend that the above agreements are reflected in a rental contract.
