Applying To Rent
1) Property Inspection
Ally & Co rental list is available on our website. Our properties are largely available to inspect via open for inspections. Times will be displayed accordingly. If a time is not displayed please contact the leasing consultant who is listed on the property to enquire further.
Punctuality is common courtesy. And be pleasant – not pushy.
Your housemates don’t have to attend the property inspection (although this is preferable), but you need to get their full and completed application and references. Have the complete set of documentation for all members of the household in advance.
Apply online straight after the inspection.
2) Complete an Application Form
Prospective renters can apply for a property by completing an application form found on our website or at reception in any of our offices. The application form is required to be completed in full detail with references provided where appropriate.
The leasing consultant should provide you with a list of documents that you need to bring but it can’t hurt to be over-prepared. You’ll need: references; the completed application form; pet references if applicable; pay slips or proof of employment; a photocopy of your current drivers license or passport.
Please be assured that all information provided in your application will remain confidential and not discussed with any other party with the exceptions of the rental provider and as required for the purpose of processing your application.
Please allow three business day to process your application. Processing does not always take this long, however, the property rental provider must be consulted prior to the decision being made and they are not always immediately accessible. Delays may also be incurred if the application is not completed correctly.
If your application has been unsuccessful it will be destroyed.
If you’ve submitted an application and you haven’t heard anything 48 hours later, send a follow up to the leasing consultant.
2) Credential Check
As our company has a major responsibility in leasing and managing the property, it is essential that we check credentials before properties are let. Knowing you have a good rental history is one of the most important factors for property managers and landlords.
Providing a rental ledger proves you pay your rent on time, while references from previous properties will help agents assess quickly whether you are a suitable tenant.
The stronger picture you can provide of your rental history, the more likely you are to be chosen. So, find out your history in advance and clear up any nasty surprises or rental discrepancies before applying, to improve your chances.
3) Signing a Rental Agreement
Once an application is approved, a Rental Agreement is raised for the rental provider and the renter to sign. It is a legally binding agreement whereby both parties agree to abide by conditions set out in the agreement. The lease is based on the Residential Tenancies Act 1997.
We request that you make an appointment with your leasing consultant to sign the lease.
4) Pay the Bond and First Month Rent
At the signing of this agreement and within 24 hours upon confirmation of approval you will be required to pay the bond and first months rent by either bank cheque or money order in our office. Failure to do so may result in the next applicant being given preference or the property re-listed.
Renter is required to pay their bond and rent by two separate bank cheques. The rental cheque being one month's calendar rent in advance is payable to Ally & Co Real Estate and the bond is for the same amount payable to the R.T.B.A. (Residential Tenancies Bond Authority). The R.T.B.A. hold onto the bond in trust for the renter until it is released back to the renter upon a successful completion of the tenancy.
How to calculate the monthly rental payable:
Weekly rental / 7 days of the week x 365 days of the year/12 months
Note: Monthly rental is calculated to the next dollar
5) Review your Condition Report
Before taking occupancy of the premises, our company will complete a detailed Condition Report as evidence to how the property has been presented to the renter. The renter has three working days to make any corrections to this report before signing it and returning it to our agency. A Statement of Rights and Duties is also provided to the renter, which is a summary outline of both parties rights under a rental agreement.
It is your responsibility to arrange to have all services connected in your name to coincide with your date of occupation.
