Kate’s top tenancy application tips include:
- Written references – The more the better. Include both personal, business, employment and previous agents you’ve rented from. Plus, bonus points if you can provide one from someone with a bit of clout.
- Tenant ledger – This should be a simple request for your previous rental agency, it gives a good indication of the type of renter you are. Also ask for a reference from the owners of the property you rented.
- Proof of home ownership – This only applies to those who have not rented before but is crucial to prove that you have the ability to pay the rent.
- Bank statements – The past six months is ideal.
- Three recent payslips – Make sure they are actually recent and not from months or years ago.
- Employment history – Include your resume to demonstrate your employment history, we can also find this on LinkedIn so be honest.
- Great personality!
