HOW TO GET ACCEPTED FOR YOUR DREAM RENTAL PROPERTY

Leasing experts let you in on the winning formula for your rental applications.

We know that finding the perfect place for you can be just as stressful, exhausting, and hard as it can be exciting. We also know that one of the best ways to make it easier yourself is to have all your ducks in a row on your rental application. This means when you like a property and want to apply for it, you can do so straight away and put your best foot forward. Below are our Leasing experts’ top tips on having a five-star application.

  1. Be organised

Getting copies of all of the relevant documents and 100 points of ID organised for you and all others over 18 who are planning to move into the property is a simple but effective step. The more organised you are before the inspection, the better.

  1. Be punctual

Making sure you get to the inspection on time and submit your application promptly means you will be the first to get your foot in the door in more ways than one. The first application in always has the best chance of being approved.

  1. Be prepared

Yes, being organised with all necessary documents and points of ID is important. However, in this real estate market, adding things like a reference letter from your previous landlord and a rental ledger are highly regarded documents that can help you secure your spot in a rental property. Similarly, if you’re the successful applicant, make sure you’re prepared to pay the bond and rent straight away.

  1. Reach out

Be sure to reach out to all of your listed references including your current or previous landlord, personal and professional references before you submit your application. Confirming that your references will be available for a call from an agent means there will be no delays during the process.

  1. Be persistent

Sending a brief email or having a quick chat to the leasing agent a few days after submitting your application won’t go astray. This will let them know that you are very interested in the property and give them the opportunity to ask any further questions if needed. Being friendly with the agency is always a good idea so that they keep you at top of mind when new listings become available.
