Are we entitled to a full refund of bond and two weeks rent if we withdraw out of a new rental contract ( due to change of circumstances) prior to signing any documentation, but after paying the bond and first two weeks rent?

Bond, yes, rent no. And you can be hit with additional rent as well depending on circumstances.

Thanks. That is what I thought. Had family members thinking that we were entitled to both bond and 1st 2 weeks rent being refunded.
