• It is recommended by the Department of Mines Industry Regulation and Safety that the entire bond is paid out by completing a Joint Application for Disposal of Security Bond form. This ensures the departing tenant/s are paid any monies owed. Alternately, the vacating and incoming tenant/s can settle any monies owed as a private matter by passing bond money between themselves. Once all parties are satisfied the bond has been settled, a Variation of Security Bond form can be used to notify the Bond Administrator of the change in tenant names.
