Moving In
Finding a rental property has become a competitive exercise, some ideas for success are -
- Have your application prepared as if you were putting a CV together, always include as much information as you can and write a covering letter telling us a little bit about yourself.
- Include any written references you may have, copies of photo ID, copies of bills that show you have lived at the address stated, photos, etc.
- Think carefully about whether the property really suits your needs before you apply.
- Tenants must organise utility connections well in advance of the move in date.
- Almost all properties will require a month's rent as bond.
- A month's rent is not simply 4 weeks rent, it is calculated as follows -
Weekly price divided by 7 (7 days)
Multiplied by 365 (1 year)
Divided by 12 (12 months) and rounded off
- Once you move in, make a point of locating the mains power box and the mains water supply tap in case you have to switch them off in an emergency
- Try to keep the information kit you receive in an easily accessible place.
