Yes, a bond equal to 4 weeks rent is due before moving in, consistent with all Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) processes and requirements. This is held in trust by the Queensland Residential Tenancy Authority (RTA) and refunded at the end of the lease. The bond is money paid by the resident at the start of the Rooming Accommodation Agreement, as financial security in case the resident breaches the terms of their agreement causing loss through damage, cleaning requirements or loss of rent.
You will find more information about rental bonds for rooming accommodation and the RTA here.
