Same question — is six weeks bond legal? — asked of Google vs Renterprise.

Google search result

Generic

“The amount of bond a landlord can request varies by state. In most Australian states the bond is capped at four weeks rent, though some allow more under certain conditions. We recommend speaking to a qualified solicitor for advice on your specific situation...”

  • ·Generic Australian advice — averaged across six states with different laws.
  • ·No reference to a specific section of your state's Act.
  • ·Doesn't look at your lease — you still have to figure out if it applies.
  • ·“Consult a solicitor” — but you can't afford one for a $200 dispute.
  • ·Often pre-2020, written before the NSW reforms changed the rules.

Result: you still don't know if your bond is legal.

Renterprise lease check

NSW-specific

Your bond clause is unenforceable. Your lease specifies six (6) weeks bond ($3,720). Under s. 159 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (NSW), bond cannot exceed four (4) weeks rent. The lawful maximum for your rent is $2,480.

  • Reads your actual lease, your actual numbers.
  • Cites the exact section that makes the clause void.
  • Tells you the lawful amount, in dollars.
  • Drafts the pushback letter — you just send it.
  • Current as of May 2026 (post-reform).

Result: you know your position. You have the letter. Try free →

We're not anti-Google. We use it ourselves. We just think a NSW renter pushing back on a $3,720 bond demand deserves better than averaged Australian advice and a “speak to a solicitor” shrug.

And vs ChatGPT?

ChatGPT would confidently invent a section number that sounds plausible — “s. 187 of the Residential Tenancies Act” — and you'd have no way to tell it's fake. We literally can't. Every citation we surface passes through a hand-verified allowlist of 100+ NSW Act sections, and a server-side validator rejects any output containing an unknown reference. When uncertain, we point you at the Tenants' Union (1800 251 101) instead of guessing.

A real lease check

Unenforceable clauses, cited against the Act.

The result page reads like a paralegal's memo. Unenforceable clauses are struck through and footnoted with the exact section of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (NSW)that makes them void. Disadvantageous-but-legal clauses are flagged separately so you can decide what's worth pushing back on. You can sign anyway. You just know the position you're in.

Honest paralegal, by design

We tell you when to back down too.

Renterprise isn't a tenant cheerleader. If you damaged the carpet and the landlord wants $200 for a reasonable clean, we tell you to pay — not draft a dispute letter that would lose at NCAT and burn the relationship. The standard applies across every tool.

  • Never invent section numbers. Every NSW Act citation passes a hand-verified allowlist.
  • Worth fighting vs let go. Every lease flag is classified Unenforceable, Disadvantageous-but-legal, or Standard.
  • Refuses to draft a losing case. If the analysis says 'legal and reasonable', the letter generator declines and tells you why.
  • On-device by default. Your matters, tenancies, and rent ledger live on your device. Export a backup. Wipe with one click.

EXCERPT FROM YOUR BOND ANALYSIS

Frequently asked

The questions every renter asks before they trust us.

Is this legal advice?+
No. Renterprise is an educational tool that helps you understand how the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 (NSW)applies to your situation. For complex matters — particularly anything heading to a hearing — contact a qualified lawyer or the Tenants' Union of NSW on 1800 251 101. The Union is brilliant and free.
How is my data handled?+
Your matters, notices, lease text, and timeline live in your browser's storage — they don't leave your device. We only send the matter text to our AI for analysis, and we don't retain it after the response is generated. You can export a full backup or wipe everything any time from Settings.
What stops the AI from making up section numbers?+
Three layers. One: a hand-verified allowlist of NSW Act sections — the AI can't cite anything outside it. Two: an explicit anti-fabrication block in every prompt. Three:a server-side validator that rejects outputs containing unknown citations. When uncertain, we point you at the Tenants' Union (1800 251 101) instead of guessing.
What if I'm not in NSW?+
Renterprise is NSW-only. Every Australian state has its own Residential Tenancies Act with different sections, notice periods, and tribunals — generic Australian rental advice is wrong in three states and right in three. We'd rather be deeply right in one than averaged across six. VIC, QLD, and ACT are on the roadmap.
Will my landlord or agent know I used this?+
No. We don't contact them. Anything you generate — letters, NCAT packs, bond disputes — is yours to send or not send. Your data lives on your device, so there's no record of you on our server even if a landlord asked. You can also use most tools without signing up at all.
Why pay $49+ when TUNSW is free?+
The Tenants' Union of NSW is excellent and we send you there for serious matters. They're also chronically under-resourced — wait times can run into hours, and they don't draft your letters or build your NCAT pack for you. Renterprise gives you an answer in 60 seconds, plus the documents you need to file. Use both — they're complementary, not substitutes.
