Transcript

The biggest red flags we see on rental applications... Number 1 is incomplete applications. If important information or documents are missing, it can delay the process of your application or it can make it less competitive. Number 2 is inconsistent information. If your employment, income history, rental history or references don't match up, you'll usually need to ask more questions, therefore it can delay the process even more. Number 3 is such a big one, is uncontactable references. If your employer or previous property manager cannot be reached, this can really delay the process. So please make sure that the emails and numbers and references are all correct. Number 4 is poor communication. Taking days to reply or not answering phone calls or emails can make it really difficult to process your application, also especially in this competitive market. Number 5 is applying for properties outside your budget. Owners often want to see that the rent is affordable based on your financial circumstances. Remember, every application is assessed as a whole and the owner does make the final decision. So a complete honest application gives you the best chance.
