Rental pack

[Jad]

Dear all,

I'm moving to Oz in the next couple of weeks and feeling very stressed out at the moment. I've always owned my own home in the UK and this will be my first experience of renting anywhere. I have heard that its very competitive and I was just wandering what kind of things do I need to bring with me that will aid me in obtaining a rental

Regards

Jad

have a look on suburbview, you'll find lots of rentals, for the area you will be living
we will be doing the same, but dont let it stress you out it aint worth it

Are you meaning things like references and proof of income etc as i am in the same boat.

I think a covering letter does the trick, explaining who you are etc. if you are renting out your uk home, put in that you are also a landlord and know what it means to need reliable tenants etc. For documents, provide copies of bank statement, any references, copies of passport, driving licence, any other photo ID, and try to give names of references, two people. If you are already working, they will probably want a wage slip or contract and call up your work to check it out. Good luck, we have now done this twice and gotchosen for both houses.
