R.I.P tenant bond interest for tenant advisory services in Qld

Today is the last day that tenant bond interest will be provided by the Queensland government for tenant advice services in this state.  Three months’ notice of program discontinuation provided to the 23 services funded under the Tenant Advice and Advocacy Program ends today.  Tomorrow, tenant bond interest that would have been applied fo tenant advice services will apparently be diverted to social housing programs.

Good bye our dear friend.  Let’s hope we are reunited sooner rather than later.

Thanks to the Commonwealth government’s emergency funding tenant advice services will remain open until at least the end of June.  We now have a new battle ahead to regain the small proportion of tenant bond interest usually applied to our valuable tenant advice services  beyond that date.
