What documents do you need for a rental application?<\/h3>\n

Kasey McDonald head of leasing at property management agency :Different said tenancy applications are \u201cpretty uniform across the board\u201d in Australia, whether physical paperwork or an online platform like realestate.com.au\u2019s 1form or Ignite is used.<\/p>\n

Why are documents required for a rental application?<\/h3>\n

Ms McDonald said property owners, or their property manager if they use one, need certainty that a prospective tenant is a good fit and low risk.<\/p>\n

When recommending someone, property managers need to be able to provide the owner with confirmation of who the would-be tenant is, where they\u2019ve been living and that they have the means to meet rental payments.<\/p>\n

\n
It\u2019s important to have all documents<\/strong> ready when applying for a rental.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cSeparately, property managers also need to provide their insurer with the tenancy application if they ever need to make a claim,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n

The documentation also allows the owner or property manager to perform the necessary database checks.<\/p>\n

Should I declare issues from previous tenancies?<\/h3>\n

Ms McDonald said it\u2019s important to flag any negative listings<\/a> on tenancy databases with a landlord or agent upfront, to ensure the best chance for success.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there are reasons why you\u2019ve been blacklisted or additional context you want the owner to take into consideration, we always encourage you to be transparent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t disclose it, we\u2019ll be made aware of it regardless and it could mean your application is automatically declined by the landlord.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
