Western Australia end-of-lease evidence

Consumer Protection publishes Property condition report Form 1. It is a prescribed form: extra detail can be added, and the printed items are not removed.

BondFile is a private photographic record you can attach to a condition report or a bond dispute. It does not replace the official condition report for your state or territory, it does not lodge or hold bond money, and it is not legal advice. Forms, deadlines, and bond rules change. Read the official page for your state or territory.

What the official pages say

• The lessor or property manager gives the tenant two copies of the completed report within 7 days of the tenant moving in. The tenant returns one copy within 7 days of receiving it.
• Consumer Protection recommends signing and dating any photographs or video. It also says photos are not a substitute for a written description on the form.
• A final property condition report is completed as soon as practicable, and in any event within 14 days after the tenancy ends. Fair wear and tear is not the tenant's responsibility. The security bond is lodged with the Bond Administrator.

Where BondFile fits

Use it while you still have the keys. Photograph each room, mark clean / undamaged / working, and download the PDF. Attach it to the official form or send it with a bond dispute. It does not sign the form for you, and it does not decide fair wear and tear. Reports, photos, and generated PDFs are deleted automatically 24 months after the report is created, so a move-in record is still there at the end of a 12-month lease.
