In Australia, borrowers may get a loan called Rental Bond Loans to help them cover the costs connected with their security deposit. A bond is a security deposit given to a landlord or property management in Australia by a tenant as insurance against the tenant's failure to pay rent or damage to the rented property. This is done in the instance that the tenant either fails to pay rent or causes damage to the property. The standard security deposit is the equivalent of four weeks' worth of rent.
