Rental application checklist

Use a checklist so nothing important is missed.

Most delays come from missing documents or inconsistent details. A short checklist keeps your submission complete and easy to review.

Identity checklist

  • Photo ID is current and readable.
  • Name and date of birth match your application details.

Income checklist

  • Recent proof of income is included.
  • Employer details are current and consistent.

Rental history checklist

  • Addresses and dates are complete.
  • Previous manager or landlord contact is valid.

Reference checklist

  • Referees agreed to be contacted.
  • Role and relationship are clear.

Common checklist gaps

  • • Forgetting to include a second form of ID when requested
  • • Submitting income proof that is more than 30 days old
  • • Not double-checking referee phone numbers before submitting
  • • Missing the property address or intended move-in date on the application
