There is a lot of competition for rental properties, so it’s important to be prepared when applying for a new place to live. You’ll need to get approved by the landlord or property manager. Here are some tips from JMW Property Services on how to get approved:
- Make sure you have all the required documents, such as identification and proof of income
- Be honest about your income and employment situation.
- Have good references from previous landlords or employers.
- Show that you’re responsible and have a good rental history.
- Be prepared to pay a higher deposit or bond, if you have bad credit or no rental history.
Why do I keep getting rejected for rentals?
According to a recent survey, the number one reason agents decline a tenant application is because of a history of missed rental payments. More than 70% of property managers surveyed say an applicant who has a record of paying their rent late would be the first struck off the shortlist.
First impressions do count
So, it’s important to look your best. Dress well and be well groomed, that tells the property manager or landlord that if you take pride in your appearance, you’re more likely to take good care and maintain their property.
