Making your application stand out and having all the necessary requirements ready when students rent a house or apartment in Australia. In this episode of TIPS, Dan Alexander–a real estate agent–tells us all about renting in Australia.
Preparation is key. You need all the proof you can get to convince the property owners that you are the best tenant they can find. The Australian rental market is competitive since permanent rentals are huge investments for property owners.
The first thing you need to prepare is your documents. Have copies of your IDs ready, as well as your complete rental history. You should also prepare any proof of your credibility when it comes to paying on time and taking care of property.
References also make your rental application stand out. Each recommendation counts. Consider asking your previous landlord, work superiors and other reliable contacts. Get a written statement that includes their contact details.
Basically, showing proof that you are a great investment as a tenant can help you grab a place easier and faster. These are just the primary things you should consider as a student when renting a house or apartment in Australia. Good luck!
