Hi folks,
We're gonna rent a house in Melbourne next month (Staying on WHV),just wondering what docs we do need to get the agreement signed?

Thnaks,

Vanessa

3 references - letter from your Landlord/Estate Agent in the UK (if you are coming directly from there) to say previous property was in good condition. We didn't need much else. The offer to pay 6 months rent in advance did not have any bearing on our application and the agent didn't take it.

Sorry, but not coming from UK, moreover I'm a landlord over here
Do we need any TAX code to sign that?

Thanks,

Hi

The need for prior references is not universal. I unilaterally offered the agent a bank statement showing that I had funds to pay the rent. Nothing else, other than ID. That sufficed.

We just had to show our bank statement and mortgage statements.

I agree Neil. They all give you application forms to complete, but would suggest you attach a decent covering letter showing your great suitability as a tenant.
Sometimes an opinion can be made from more information. For example we came over with no employment but had more than sufficient funds, showed the costs we had incurred to get here (its not a fly by night migration for any of us is it). Copies of our post graduate qualifications etc.

If you sit back and think "if I was the landlord, who would I be comfortable in renting to?".

The agents only pass the applications over so they cant answer. Better to go overboard with info than too little and miss the property.
