Default Rental in Melbourne

Can any body tell me what paper work I am likely to need to rent a property in Melbourne.
I`m assuming I will need to have references, but do these need to be personal ones.
Thanks
Ellen

We just looked on www.realestate.com.au under the rentals section.

As for references, we were asked to fill in a form each & they asked for 3 references - just name, address & phone number. They wanted at least one personal (used my sister & bil) & one professional (used my OH's new boss) Although none of them were contacted.

As we had no rental or job history here, we offered to pay 6 months in advance, but they didn't take us up on that offer (I suppose in case we were/are the tenants from hell??!!)

We were offered both rental places we applied for, but took the one that got back to us first.

Whereabouts in Melbourne are you hoping for ?

We needed -

Names of 2 referees
Name of previous 2 employers
Car rego number
Name of next of kin
Previous 2 addresses lived at.
Bank details.
I think that was all.............

We were also offered both rental places we applied for, we accepted one in Mordialloc.

Thanks for that.
We will probably be looking to rent on the east side. We are booked in to a holiday let in Bays water North from the 10th Sept for 4 weeks.
Hopefully that should be enough time to find a suburb we like and a rental which is available.
