Showing a similar trend, the numbers of new bonds lodged per quarter have been slowly
declining since 2011 for the main dwelling types (Figure 14). The number of new bonds lodged
per quarter for two bedroom flats, three bedroom houses, and four bedroom houses have slowly
declined.

The highest number of rental bonds held in June 2016 were for three bedroom houses, followed
by four bedroom houses. Two bedroom flats were the next most frequent type of rental property.
