Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) There is no Government data on short-term rental accommodation in the ACT. Short stays are private, contractual arrangements between an owner or short-term rental provider and tenant.

(2) As at 22 April 2022, 43,900 rental bonds have been lodged with the ACT Revenue Office.

(3) & (4)

Lessors and agents are not required by law to take a bond from a tenant, however, if they do receive a bond, they are required to lodge it with the ACT Revenue Office. Receipts are issued to all parties involved. The Government has no way of identifying whether a rental bond should have been lodged. Tenants who have paid a bond but who have not received a receipt should contact Rental Bonds, ACT Revenue Office.
