Contact Information

Current address, phone number, and email address fall under contact information. They are vital for us and the landlords to keep in touch with you throughout the application process and thereafter.

Rental History

Your past rental arrangements provide insights into your tenancy behavior. You'll need to list your previous landlords, rental periods, and any reasons for leaving your last rental. This helps in establishing reliability and trustworthiness as a tenant.

Employment History

Employment details, including your current employer, position, salary, and length of employment, demonstrate financial stability. Additionally, you might be asked to provide recent pay stubs or bank statements for income verification.

Additional Information

Beyond the basics, there are a few more pieces of information that can support your application and help you stand out as a desirable tenant.

Emergency Contact

Having an emergency contact is standard procedure, ensuring that there's someone we can reach out to on your behalf in urgent situations.

References

References can play a key role in the decision-making process. Providing contacts who can vouch for your reliability and responsibility, such as former landlords or employers, is highly beneficial.

Co-applicants

If you're planning on sharing the space with roommates, each person will need to submit their application. Details about co-applicants should be included, ensuring everyone passes the screening process.
