Here are some tips that may help your application be accepted:
- Set up rental alerts on real estate websites like www.realestate.com.au so you are first notified of any new listings
- Attend the first open inspection on the property
- Confirm open inspection times the day before you view the property
- Download applications from the agent’s website and have them ready at the viewing
- Make sure you complete all of the requirements on the application form e.g. enough I.D.; all previous rental history provided; all pet information supplied
- Let your rental and personal references know to expect a phone call
- The more information you provide the easier and the faster it is for agents to process
- Honesty is the best policy – if you’ve had problems in the past, let us know
