Have your documents ready
Say you’ve found your dream property. Now, it’s time to put in an application—but as many of us know, good properties can be gone in a split second. If you’re lucky enough to find something that you know is a diamond in the rough, you better have all of the necessary paperwork together. Ensure you have the following documents ready to submit along with a completed application form;
- Photo ID; either a driver’s license or a passport
- A copy of your Rental Ledger
- Last gas/electricity/phone bill or rates notice
- Reference from employer or fellow staff member
- Reference from neighbour/teacher/business person/doctor/accountant
- Copies of recent pay slips and bank statements;
- Landlord reference letter saying that you’re a dream tenant.
- If you’re self employed , your tax returns for the last two years, you’ll definitely need this, and may even want to have a letter from your accountant.
