In this current rental market many agents are receiving multiple applications per property. It is therefore, extremely important to ensure you put your best foot forward & that all your documentation is complete & ready for processing.
Tips for a successful application include:
1. Personal Details – All personal details need to be completed including full legal name, date of birth & correct contact details including phone & email.
2. Identification – A minimum of 100 points of Identification is required with your application. Drivers license, passport, birth certificate/ extract, bank statement, medicare card, phone/electricity accounts– (just to name a few)
3. Declarations – Without your signed declaration an agent is not able to obtain personal information on your behalf, so it is extremely important that this has been signed.
4. Rental History- Ensuring your current & previous Agent details are completed including phone numbers & email addresses will save time in processing your application. It is always a good idea to submit a current rental ledger with your application & inform your property manager that you are actively applying for property.
5. Employment information – Attaching current payslips is essential, proof of income may determine the decision on your application. Advise your employer you are applying for rental accommodation & ensure you have completed their contact details including phone & email so that they can be contacted.
