Applying for a home

Applying is free. Leasii never charges you to apply.

How it works

1. Fill in your renter profile once. Your details, income, documents and referees are saved, and owners only see them when you apply.
2. Apply for a home. Choose to attach your profile, add anyone applying with you, and send it.
3. Hear back here. Your applications show where each one is up to, any check the owner would like to run, messages from the owner, and an offer when there is one.
4. Accept or decline an offer. You see the rent, dates, bond and any holding deposit before you answer.

What you're asked

Your name and contact details, income, where you live now, when you'd like to move in and for how long, who'll live there, pets, and the name and email of anyone applying with you. Your state's rules decide what an owner can and can't ask.

Documents to have ready

• Identity, such as a driver licence or passport
• Income, such as payslips or a Centrelink income statement
• Rental history, such as a reference from a past landlord

Cover up numbers you don't need to show, like your licence card number.

Sending it

You can fill in the form before you have an account; you need one to send it. If you've saved a renter profile, you can include it. Tick the declaration and choose Send application.

How your information is used

It goes only to this home's owner, who may check it with your referees. If you're unsuccessful, it's deleted after a set time unless you agree to it being kept.

After you apply

Your applications show where each one is up to and any messages from the owner. If the owner offers you the home, you can accept or decline. Accepting isn't signing: nothing is final until the lease is signed. You can withdraw an application at any time.
