Any Real Estate Proprety mangers on here ( Rental )

[hahahavefun]

I have a question.

While I realise it's extremely hard to get a rental property at the moment where I live I was wondering if you can tell me what actually happens once you put an application in ?

Are the personal referee's and Buissness referee's rung ? Is your work contacted ?

When is all the checking of your application done ?

I'm only asking as we have applied for 4 houses and been knocked back on all 4 even though all have jobs and excellent rental histories . My personal referee has not been contacted by any of the real estates I have put an application in for ..

I don't know how it works haha. We only get tenants that the agents approve of. I know they knocked back a couple of applicants last time we rented out. but i don't know why

No, not a property manager.

I believe the RE only check references of the person they approve to lease the house. It wouldn't be time effective to check references on every application.

The application forms they would check are completed properly when they are received by the RE.

When there is more demand for houses than there are houses available there are lots of applicants who do have good rental history, good references and income..

Let down after let down , all require different photo copies of stuff , all ID is different as far as 100 points goes . One will only accept Coloured copies of ID .

Arrange viewing times , attend viewings applications put in . All so very time comsuming when we all work full time .

All forms completed properly these are tripled check by us all relevent ID and other paper work they want is all there .

I keep telling myself as hard as it is we will get what were meant to have ..hhmmm

Only way to stay possitive I think lol

[happyroo_bunji]

have you asked them why you've been knocked back?

[cherry*135]

There is an extreme shortage of rental properties where I live also. Not much you can do except keep applying.

[hahahavefun]

Two of the RE said there is nothing wrong with our applications , Its up to the owners who they choose and a lot of the time they dont get a reason why others were knocked back .

One said some owners like certain type of tennants like Professional couples ,, thats discrimination in my eyes.

[green.fields]

Our property manager only presents 2 or 3 applicants, ones they feel are the better ones.

If you feel there is no reason to be rejected ask them the reason why.

You might think its discrimination, but they have the right to refuse to rent thier house to whomever they please.
