For those in this position, it’s particularly important to provide as much financial information as possible along with references such as current or previous employers.

If you’re a casual worker:
If you’re a casual worker and don’t have a regular salary that provides stable income, property managers and landlords will want to see:
- Bank statements showing recent payments from casual work
- A recent tax return showing your annual earnings
- A letter from your employer verifying your income and character
- A rental ledger showing proof of previous rental payments made
It can also be helpful for your application to nominate a guarantor such as a parent or relative who agrees to cover rent repayments if you are unable to.
If you’re a student:
It is against the law for a landlord to stop somebody from renting a property based on their age. With that in mind, so long as you can afford the rent, there is no reason being a student should limit your chances of renting a property. A guarantor from your family member is most helpful.
If you’re a low income earner:
For low income earners this may include allowances from Centrelink that provide a regular income along with pay slips from recent jobs.
Applications are often rejected because property owner. If the rent comes to more than 30 per cent of your household income, consider searching for properties in a more affordable area, or alternative accommodation options such as share housing.
If you’ve been blacklisted:
In Australia there are several “blacklists” otherwise known as tenancy databases that list “bad tenants” as reported by real estate agents and landlords. If you are currently on a blacklist and intend to apply for a rental property, it’s advisable to be upfront up your situation and provide an explanation if possible.
Being blacklisted lasts a maximum period of three years in every state or territory.
If you have kids:
The only instances where a landlord or agent can refuse to rent out premises to a person with children is when the property is the landlord’s main residence or the property’s location and design make it unsuitable for occupation by a child.
If you feel you are a victim of rental discrimination, you can contact the Australian Human Rights Commission.
If you have pets:
Whether or not having a pet is allowed in a rental property differs from state to state.
In most other states, whether or not a renter can have a pet is at the discretion of the landlord and whether your tenancy agreement specifies that pets are allowed. Some rental properties will explicitly advertise whether they are pet-friendly or not.
If you’re from overseas:
Like any other person who is seeking to rent in Australia, a prospective renter who has recently moved from overseas will be asked to provide evidence of regular income using pay slips, bank statements or other means. It is important to provide a written reference from your previous real estate agent and landlord to include with your applications in Australia.
It is against the law for a landlord or owner to stop somebody from renting a property based on their nationality, ethnicity or their religious beliefs and activity.

首次租房没有租赁历史，无需为此烦恼。
对于担任申请人来说，向中介和业主提供尽可能多的财务信息以及当前或以前的雇主等推荐信尤为重要。如果个人和家庭成员或雇主出面承诺将来不拖欠租金，并且保证所有承租人的债务负责将有利于申请成功率。
如果您是临时工申请租赁房：
如果您是临时工，并且没有提供稳定收入的固定工资，物业经理和房东将希望看到：
•提交最近临时工作付款的银行对账单
•提交您的年收入的最新纳税申报表
•提交雇主出具的收入证明和品行推荐信
•提交以前支付租金的交付记录证明
如果您的申请可以提供一份父母或亲戚同意支付租金的担保信，这对您的申请也很有帮助。
如果您是学生：
房东划分年龄阻止某人申请租赁是违法的。考虑到这一点，只要您能负担得起租金，作为学生就没有理由限制您租房的机会。通过家人的担保去申请是最有帮助的。
如果您是低收入者申请租赁房：
对于低收入者，这可以包括谁福利部的津贴，提供固定收入以及最近的工资单。这种申请经常会被业主拒绝。如果租金超过您家庭收入的30%，请考虑在更实惠的地区寻找租赁物业，此时也可以考虑选择合租房。
如果您被列入黑名单申请租赁房：
在澳大利亚，有几个“黑名单”，也称为租客数据库，列出了房地产经纪和业主申请纳入的“不良租户”。如果您目前在黑名单上并打算申请租赁物业，建议您坦率告知您的情况，并在可能的情况下提供解释。在每个州或地区的物业租赁法律不同，被列入黑名单的租客最长期限为三年。
如果您有孩子申请租赁房：
房东或代理人可以拒绝将房屋出租给有子女的人的唯一情况是该物业是的同住物业，或者该物业的位置和设计使其不适合儿童居住。如果您觉得自己是租房歧视的受害者，您可以联系澳大利亚人权委员会。
如果您有宠物申请租赁房：
出租物业是否允许养宠物因州而异。在大多数其他州，租房者是否可以养宠物由房东自行决定您的租赁协议是否规定允许携带宠物。一些租赁物业会在做广告时明确告知它们是否允许携带宠物。
如果您来自海外申请租赁房：
像任何其他寻求在澳大利亚租房的人一样，最近从海外移居的潜在租房者将被要求使用工资单、银行对账单或其他方式提供固定收入的证据。请务必提供您以前的房地产经纪人和海外业主的推荐信包含在您在澳大利亚的申请表格中。
业主或中介基于其国籍、种族或宗教信仰来阻止如何申请人是违法的。
