Default Renting in Oz..application probs??

Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone has had any problems with the rental application form??
We are still in the UK, and hope to go out on wifes visa shes a Nurse. When we get there we would stay at a caravan park until we find a suitable rental. Ihave recieved an application for tenency from a local agent, to see what info they require.
Its starts with a points indendification system. Obviously we woulndt have latest gas bill etc. And our current address would be the caravan park...

Anyone had issues with this, or do the agents accept that you have just emmigrated, so some factor may not be relevant?

Regards

Nigel

When we first applied for the rental we are in now the agent said, obviously there will be sections of the form that are not relevant. She just advised us to put as much info as we could.

might help if you take your mortgage statements from the uk - or anything that shows you making a regular payment for any period of time. I know it won't be Australian, but it may work as "you've been a reliable source previously - no reason why you should be different in oz"

Can't do any harm to give it a go.

Thanks for your replies. Although we dont own a house, we do rent, so maybe we should ask Landlord for run down of rent payments??

Cheers

I would also ask him for a reference to say you were a good tenant. We had nothing either as we owned our house for the last 10 years and a letting agent we spoke to advised us to get a reference from the Estate Agent selling our house to say it was in a good state of repair and was clean and tidy etc.

Good luck
