NSW landlord claims my bond unfairly — what happens next?

If a landlord or agent claims against your bond and you disagree, you can dispute the claim. NSW Government guidance says you may need to apply to NCAT and notify Fair Trading within the relevant 14-day notice period. Keep the condition report, photos, cleaning receipts, repair evidence, messages and rent records. Official sources: NSW Government and NCAT. Guide: https://getinstantlaw.com/au/topics/landlord-tenant
