Renting Tips

Today’s rental climate means that there is a high demand for rental properties; however there is also an increasing shortage of available properties.

This means if you’re looking to rent you need to be diligent in filling out your application, provide as much information as possible with your application and you may need to sign a long term lease if your application is accepted.

Quality tenants are snapped up by investors, both in the private and managed rental sectors. References are a great tool in providing character and professional profiles, as well as rental history from previous landlords or Property Managers.

Here are a few of the things that you should consider when looking for a property to rent:

• Is the property suitable for your needs?
• Do you have pets or small children that require fenced yards?
• Do you need to be close to public transport?
• Are you readily available to inspect or move into a property?
• Have you provided as much information as possible with your application for the Landlord’s consideration?
• Do you have current references for the Landlord’s consideration?
