What documents are required to RENT
Hi Everyone
Can someone advise me what documentation we will need to bring when looking to rent?
I have to avoid being disappointed and get to the top of the pile, you should take all the documents with you so you can complete the form whilst you are there.
Thanks

Whatever the case, you will need:
- ID - passport, drivers license (Oz pref)
- Income proof or $$$ in the bank
- proof of Oz address
Good luck!

Re: What documents are required to RENT
Thanks - BUT if we are arriving from UK we wont have an Oz address...so cant give proof. Also, I wont start my job until 2 weeks into arriving, so how can I give proof of income? Should I get a letter from my employer?

2. Change driving license to Oz one after proof of address above. Once you have Oz drivers license with address on, you're sorted for ID mostly. (Can change address later)
3. Yes, Letter offer of employment/contract will do showing proposed income.

We didn't have to show any proof of address. But you will definitely need to either show money in bank and / or job offer letter, they need to know you can pay.

We put a pack together when we were house hunting, we did get a letter from our UK agent saying how well presented our house was. It was a two liner, that was the only thing even remotely resembling a reference.

That's just ridiculous, I'd stop using that agent if they are going to be silly. we dealt with several agents and non asked for references, they also all said they understand that people migrating might not have realms of paperwork, landlord references etc.

- Birth Certificate
- Bank Statement
- Driving Licence (UK)
- Passport
- Previous UK Mortgage Statements
We also said we were able to pay 6 months rent upfront, as we did not have jobs, but this was not required.
