How we process your application

• Before submitting your application, you or a trusted person on your behalf will need to view the property and accept you would like to apply for the property in its current condition
• Your application will be processed during business hours. We require up to two business days to process
• Ray White Metro North will contact your current and previous employment and rental references (depending on how long you have been at the current residence or place of employment). It is recommended that you advise your references that they will be receiving a phone call or email from us, as this step is often the part that slows the application processing down
• After reference checks are completed on your application, we will submit it to the owner as ultimately it is their decision to approve or deny your application

Should your application be successful
Once the property owner has approved your application, the property manager will send through a confirmation email with instructions on paying the rental deposit and bond. We require the deposit to be paid within 24 hours of approval to secure the property for you. The rental bond is required to be paid in full before keys are collected for the lease commencement.
