STANDING OUT IN A COMPETITIVE RENTAL MARKET

The popularity of living in Melbourne is driving all aspects of the local property market, including a large swell in demand for rental property. For those looking to secure a lease it can be a little daunting to see 60 like-minded people at an open for inspection. So how do you stand out from the crowd?

Put your best foot forward At the open for inspection, introduce yourself to the Property Manager. Just like a job interview, this is your best chance to communicate face to face with the person who will be recommending the strongest candidates to the property owner.

Strong references are a must Compelling references from an employer, a school principal or university lecturer are highly regarded, but character references from a neighbour,

teacher, coach, business person, doctor or accountant who can vouch for your reliability and good character are valuable too.

Prove your financial capability To keep your application at the top of the pile, ensure you provide three consecutive pay slips, or a bank statement indicating proof of funds, so there is no doubt about your capacity to pay the rental amount.

Speed things up Have your application completed and supporting documents ready to go, including 100 points of identification (e.g. passport and licence). You don’t want to delay your application in a hot market.

Please contact your local Jellis Craig office for more information on how to apply for a property.
