Relocating to Melbourne? Advice on renting from Short Stays Australia

The rental market in Melbourne is hotly contested and finding a good rental can take upwards of 4 weeks.  It is important that you have all your paperwork and finances in order so that when you find the right property you can put your application in quickly and present yourself as an attractive tenant to the landlord.  Essential items are:

• Completed tenancy application
• Bond - usually 4-6 weeks rent
• First months rent
• Written references from previous landlords/real estate agents
• Employer/income details

Most people search for rental accommodation in Melbourne using the following websites: www.domain.com.au and www.realestate.com.au

Real estate agents often ask for expressions of interest by email and will then arrange open for inspection times.  It's a good idea to come ready to submit your application as each open for inspection can see upwards of 30 renters vying for a property.
