Today’s climate for renters means that there is a higher demand for properties and an increasing shortage of properties for rent.

If you are looking to rent, don’t despair, here are some quick tips from RealRenta to help you get ahead in this competitive market:

• Fill out your application diligently and provide as much information as possible
• Be prepared to sign a long term lease immediately upon acceptance of your application
• References are a great tool in providing character and professional profiles and rental histories from previous Property Managers and Landlords will be highly regarded.
• Ensure that the property is suitable for your needs ( do you have pets, do you use public transport etc?)
• Purchase renters insurance to protect you for loss due to theft or damage caused by other people.
• Put all requests for repairs in writing in order to keep track of all communication. If your Landlord is a RealRenta landlord, you can lodge all your requests through the RealRenta Platform.
