EXPLANATION FOR APPLICANTS

Only complete this APPLICATION if You are sure that You want to enter into a Residential Tenancy Agreement with the Lessor of the Premises

The Lessor of the Premises is attempting to locate the most suitable tenant; that is a tenant who pays the rent on time and takes good care of the Premises.

To enable the Lessor of the Premises to determine in their opinion, who is the most suitable person, the Lessor's Property Manager requires some background information about You.

The form "APPLICATION TO ENTER INTO RESIDENTIAL TENANCY AGREEMENT" is not the Residential Tenancy Agreement.

The purpose of this form is:

First, to inform the Lessor of Your details, and Your requirements for the Residential Tenancy Agreement; for example, if You wish to have pets at the Premises.

Second, to inform You of the Lessor's or Property Manager's usual use of one or more residential tenancy databases.

Third, to inform You of the money that is required to be paid prior to taking possession of the Premises; for example, the value of the Security Bond (which may be up to 4 weeks rent), the Pet Bond (which can be up to $260) and the initial Rent payment (which can be 2 weeks rent in advance).

Fourth, to make You aware of the terms of the Residential Tenancy Agreement (including special conditions) associated with the Lease if Your Application is accepted.

Reiwa Tenancy Application - Usage Guide

Filling out the Reiwa Tenancy Application form is a crucial step for prospective tenants interested in securing a residential property. This document acts as a preliminary agreement and a means for the landlord to gather necessary information from potential tenants. The process involves providing detailed personal, financial, and rental history information to ensure transparency and eligibility for tenancy. The outcome of this application will determine whether you proceed to the next stage, which involves the lessor presenting a formal Residential Tenancy Agreement for your review and signature should your application be successful. Here are the steps to correctly fill out the form:

Start by reading the instruction and explanation section carefully to understand the purpose of the application and the process that follows.
Fill in the proposed tenant's name(s) under the section labeled "FROM." Ensure the names are complete and match your legal documents.
Indicate the address of the Premises for which you are applying in the "FOR" section.
Under "TO," provide the Property Manager's name or the management agency's name overseeing the rental application process.
In PART A (completed by the Property Manager), review the details such as Premises address, weekly rent, and any applicable Option Fee to ensure they match your expectations and agreement.
Move onto PART B (to be completed by you) and provide your tenancy details, including the desired tenancy duration, weekly rent you're agreeing to, and the total number of occupants including adults and children.
Detail any pets you intend to keep on the property in the space provided by specifying the type and breed.
If you're applying for a bond from a State Government Department, indicate "Yes" and provide the requested details.
For the Option Fee refund, include your bank account details where necessary.
List any special conditions you're requesting in the space provided. Remember, the lessor is not obligated to agree to these conditions.
Provide your contact details for receiving the Residential Tenancy Agreement and other related notices. Include your email, fax, and postal address as required.
Declare that all the information provided is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge by signing the declaration section.
Submit the completed application to the Property Manager along with any required Option Fee as specified in the document.

After submission, if you're not the successful applicant and have paid an Option Fee, expect a refund within 7 days of the decision. If your application is successful, be prepared to review and sign the proposed Residential Tenancy Agreement, comply with the payment of the security bond, pet bond (if applicable), and the advance rent to formalize the tenancy. Remember, the successful completion of these steps does not guarantee tenancy until all parties sign the Residential Tenancy Agreement and all financial obligations are met.

More About Reiwa Tenancy Application

What is the Reiwa Tenancy Application form?

The Reiwa Tenancy Application form is a document approved by the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia (REIWA) for individuals who wish to apply for residential tenancy. Its main purpose is to collect information from potential tenants to help the lessor (the person leasing out the property) decide who would be the most suitable candidate to rent the premises. It is important to note that completing this application does not mean you have entered into a tenancy agreement.

Why do I need to complete this application?

Completing the Reiwa Tenancy Application form is the first step in applying to rent a property. It provides the property manager and lessor with essential details about you, such as your background, rental history, and specific requirements for the tenancy. This information helps the lessor determine if you are a fit tenant according to their criteria, which generally includes reliability in paying rent and maintaining the premises.

Is this application the same as a Residential Tenancy Agreement?

No, the Reiwa Tenancy Application form is not a Residential Tenancy Agreement. Instead, it is a preliminary step to inform the lessor about your interest and suitability for renting the premises. If your application is successful, you will then be provided with a proposed Residential Tenancy Agreement to sign, which will formalize the rental arrangement.

What happens after I submit the application?

After submitting your application, it will be reviewed by the property manager. If you are not selected as the tenant, and you have paid an option fee, this fee will be refunded to you within 7 days. If your application is successful, the lessor will present you with a proposed Residential Tenancy Agreement.

What is an Option Fee?

An option fee is a payment that may be required when submitting your tenancy application. Its amount varies depending on the weekly rental price of the property. This fee will be refunded or credited towards your rent if your application is successful. If you are not successful, it will be refunded in full within 7 days.

Can I apply for a pet bond?

If you wish to keep pets at the premises, you may be required to pay a pet bond in addition to the general security bond. The pet bond is used to cover any damage caused by pets and is capped at $260.

What are the special conditions in the Residential Tenancy Agreement?

Special conditions are specific terms agreed upon by both the tenant and the lessor, in addition to the standard terms of the tenancy. These can include rules regarding pets, any alterations you wish to make to the property, or other specific arrangements. Note that the lessor is not obliged to accept any proposed special conditions.

How is my personal information used?

Your personal information is collected for the purpose of processing and evaluating your application, managing the tenancy, and for other related tasks. This information may be shared with referees, other property managers, tenancy databases, and prospective buyers or lessors, as necessary. Confidentiality and privacy laws protect your information.

What if I do not agree with the terms of the proposed Residential Tenancy Agreement?

If you do not agree with the terms of the proposed Residential Tenancy Agreement or fail to meet the prerequisites for entering into the agreement, the option for you to rent the property will lapse. If you have paid an option fee, it will be forfeited in this case.

What should I do if I need to access or correct my personal information?

If you need to access or correct any personal information you have provided, you should contact the property manager directly. They will assist you in ensuring your personal information is accurate and up-to-date.

Common mistakes

Filling out a Reiwa Tenancy Application form is a critical step in securing a rental property. However, applicants often make mistakes that can hinder their chances. One common error is not providing complete information. Every question on the form helps the property manager understand your situation and assess your application. Leaving sections blank may lead to misunderstandings or suggest that you're not serious about the application.

Another mistake is failing to mention pets. If you intend to bring pets into the property, it's vital to declare this upfront. Many leases have stipulations regarding pets, and not disclosing this information can lead to complications or breaches of your lease agreement later on.

Applicants sometimes overlook the importance of including all occupants who will live in the premises. It's essential to list every person, including children, to ensure the property manager can accurately assess your application against the property's capacity.

Underestimating the significance of the financial information section is another common error. Providing a clear picture of your financial stability and capability to pay rent is crucial. This includes not only your income but also any financial obligations that might impact your ability to make timely rent payments.

Inaccurately filling out the bank account details for the refund of the Option Fee, if applicable, can delay the process. Ensure these details are correct to facilitate a smooth transaction, should you not be the successful applicant.

Requesting unreasonable special conditions without discussing them with the property manager or the lessor first can also be a mistake. While it's acceptable to request special conditions, they should be reasonable and pre-discussed to avoid any surprises.

Last but not least, applicants sometimes fail to provide accurate referee contact information. Referees play a crucial role in supporting your application, and incorrect or outdated contact details can prevent property managers from completing necessary checks, delaying or jeopardizing your application.

Documents used along the form

Filling out a Reiwa Tenancy Application form is a crucial step in the leasing process, but it's just the beginning. To ensure a smooth transition into your new rental property, several other documents often accompany this application. Understanding these documents can help renters prepare for what's expected and streamline the leasing process.

Residential Tenancy Agreement: A legal contract between the landlord (lessor) and tenant that details the terms and conditions of the rental arrangement.
Rental Bond Lodgement Form: This form is used to lodge the security deposit with the relevant state authority, ensuring its safekeeping until the end of the tenancy.
Property Condition Report: Completed at the start of the tenancy, this report documents the property's condition, protecting both tenant and landlord interests.
Rent Receipts: These are provided by the landlord to confirm payment of rent. They serve as proof of payment and can be important for resolving disputes.
Pet Agreement Form: If pets are allowed, this form outlines the terms and conditions related to having pets at the property.
Key Receipt Form: This acknowledges the receipt of keys to the property by the tenant and records how many keys were received.
Maintenance Request Form: Used by tenants to formally request repairs or maintenance on the property, detailing the nature of the issue.
Lease Renewal Form: When a lease comes to an end, this form is used to renew the agreement for another term, subject to agreement by both parties.
Notice of Intention to Leave: This form is submitted by the tenant to formally advise the landlord of their intention to vacate the property by a specified date.

Together, these documents support the Reiwa Tenancy Application form in establishing a transparent and legally binding relationship between landlords and tenants. Each plays a vital role in clarifying responsibilities, safeguarding rights, and promoting a positive rental experience for both parties.

Similar forms

The employment application form is one document that shares key similarities with the Reiwa Tenancy Application form. Both forms require the applicant to provide personal details, references, and other specific information relevant to their suitability—be it for a job or a residential property. The employment application form, like the tenancy application, might also request background checks to determine the applicant's history and reliability. However, while the tenancy application focuses on the applicant’s rental history and ability to comply with lease terms, the employment application assesses skills, experience, and work history.

A loan application form for financial institutions also parallels the Reiwa Tenancy Application form. This similarity arises because both applications involve assessing the applicant's financial reliability and ability to make ongoing payments. A loan application requires detailed financial information, credit history, and sometimes a security deposit, akin to the Reiwa form's requirements for security and pet bonds. Although the purpose is different—one seeks to secure a residence and the other financial capital—the fundamental principle of assessing suitability and financial reliability remains consistent.

The college or university application form is another document with notable resemblances to the Reiwa Tenancy Application form. Both applications are the initial steps towards entering into an agreement, with one leading to an educational commitment and the other to a residential lease. Applicants must provide personal information, prior history (academic records for education, rental history for tenancy), and often submit to background checks. Special conditions or requests can also be a part of both forms, such as accommodation requirements at a university and pet allowances in a tenancy.

Lastly, the visa application form bears similarities to the Reiwa Tenancy Application form, especially in the exhaustive collection of personal background information. Just as the tenancy application requires details about the applicant's rental history and financial capability, the visa application necessitates a comprehensive background check, including financial status, to ensure the applicant meets the criteria for entry into a country. Both forms serve as a basis for a binding agreement, contingent upon the applicant fulfilling specific pre-requisites outlined within the application process.

Dos and Don'ts

When completing the Reiwa Tenancy Application form, it’s essential to keep certain dos and don'ts in mind to ensure a smooth application process. Below are key points to consider:

Do ensure that all the information you provide is accurate and truthful. Incorrect information can lead to delays or rejection of your application.
Don't leave any sections of the application blank. If a section does not apply to you, indicate with "N/A" (not applicable) to show that you have read and acknowledged every part of the form.
Do read the entire application form, including all terms and conditions, before filling it out. Understanding what is required and the process helps in completing the form correctly.
Don't forget to sign and date the application where required. Unsigned applications are considered incomplete and can be immediately disregarded.
Do provide all requested attachments, such as proof of income or identification documents, to avoid delays in processing your application.
Don't provide false information about your rental history or financial status. Many property managers use residential tenancy databases to verify an applicant's past tenancy behavior and financial reliability.
Do ask for clarification if you do not understand any part of the application process. It’s important to fully understand every aspect of your tenancy application.
Don't wait until the last minute to submit your application. Give yourself enough time to carefully fill out the application and gather all the necessary documents.
Do follow up with the property manager after submitting your application, especially if you haven’t received a response within a reasonable time frame. This demonstrates your interest and initiative.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can improve your chances of a successful tenancy application and demonstrate to the lessor or property manager that you are a reliable and responsible applicant.

Misconceptions

When it comes to completing the Reiwa Tenancy Application form, there are several misconceptions that applicants may have. Understanding the real process and requirements can help ensure that your application is correctly submitted and that you have realistic expectations about the process. Here’s a breakdown of common misconceptions:

Fill out the application only if interested: Applicants sometimes think they should only complete the form if they're somewhat interested in the property. However, the form clearly states it should only be completed if you are sure you want to enter into a residential tenancy agreement.
Application as a tenancy agreement: A common misconception is believing that this application form is the actual residential tenancy agreement. It’s essential to understand that this form is an application to enter into an agreement, not the agreement itself.
Security of the Option Fee: There's often confusion about the option fee's role and refundability. The form clarifies that if you're not successful, this fee will be refunded within seven days.
Pet Bond specifics: Applicants might not realize that a pet bond can be required up to $260. This is explicitly mentioned in the form and is crucial for those intending to have pets on the premises.
Immediate lease binding: There's a misconception that submitting the application immediately binds you to the lease. In reality, a binding Residential Tenancy Agreement only comes into existence under certain conditions after the application has been approved.
Option fee always necessary: It's also mistakenly believed that an option fee is always required. The form specifies that it's necessary only if mentioned by the property manager and under certain conditions.
Special conditions guarantee: Applicants might think that any special condition requests they make will be honored. However, the lessor is not obliged to accept these conditions.
Bankruptcy declaration impact: Some may worry that declaring bankruptcy or other financial information will automatically disqualify their application. However, the form is designed to gather truthful information to assess suitability, not immediately disqualify based on financial history.
Use of residential tenancy databases: Finally, applicants might not realize their details will be checked against residential tenancy databases. This standard practice ensures the lessor can make an informed decision but must be disclosed to the applicant.

Understanding these points can help applicants navigate the process more effectively, setting clear expectations for what happens next. Always read the form carefully and provide accurate information to increase your chances of a successful application.

Key takeaways

Filling out the Reiwa Tenancy Application form is an important step for individuals looking to rent a property. Here are six key takeaways to help guide you through the process:

The Reiwa Tenancy Application form is essentially a tool for prospective tenants to communicate their interest in entering into a residential tenancy agreement with the lessor, providing necessary details about themselves and their leasing requirements.
Completion and submission of this application indicate a serious interest in renting the property. This emphasizes the importance of being sure about wanting to proceed with the tenancy before submitting the application.
The application allows the lessor to collect background information on the applicant, aiming to identify the most suitable tenant — one who would pay rent on time and maintain the property well.
It’s essential to be aware that this application form itself is not a binding residential tenancy agreement. If an application is successful, the next step will be for the lessor to offer a proposed residential tenancy agreement.
Applicants should be prepared to provide specific financial commitments upfront if they are successful, which include security and possibly pet bonds, in addition to the first two weeks of rent in advance.
If the application is not successful and an option fee was paid, it will be refunded within 7 days. However, if the application is successful, compliance with the specified requirements is crucial for the formation of a legally binding residential tenancy agreement.

Besides these steps, it’s vital for applicants to thoroughly understand all the terms and conditions mentioned within the application and the subsequent residential tenancy agreement to ensure they can fulfill them throughout the lease period.
