Know what you're likely to get back.
A free tool that checks your landlord's bond claim against the Residential Tenancies Act and real NCAT decisions.
General information, not legal advice.
Published NSW NCAT decisions
is all landlords recover of what they claim for damage.
Tenants keep the other 77% of what's claimed against them.
Where landlords over-reach — by category
Share of the amount claimed that landlords actually recover.
Source: published NSW NCAT (Consumer & Commercial Division) residential-tenancy damage decisions. “Recovered” is the amount awarded as a share of the amount claimed. Individual matters are decided on their own facts, and published decisions skew toward contested cases.

Why we built this
The framework protects you — if you can apply it.
Most tenants walk into NCAT against a landlord with a polished, well-organised case, and no clear sense of what the tribunal actually has to decide. The rules are on your side more often than you would think — but only if you know them and can put them into your own words.
This tool exists because someone who had been through it wanted every tenant to be able to prepare the same way: methodically, in plain English, without needing a lawyer on call — from understanding your case to drafting your response.
