To apply for a rental property, you will need to complete a Residential Tenancy Application form which is available onsite, at the property you are viewing. Please note that this form isn't available for pre-collection at the office. You will need to provide details of your current employment, or income, and previous rental history. A separate application form must be completed for each person who wishes to appear on the lease for the property.

To assist you when inspecting the properties, you might consider bringing with you: Tape measure, Compass, Notepad/pen. Second inspections for measurements cannot be undertaken.

Please note: Applications cannot be accepted until you have been shown through the interior of the property by one of our property managers.

If you are applying for several properties please use only one application form, listing your preferences in order.

Selection Criteria

The successful tenancy applicant has provided all necessary details on their application form, including sound references. We operate strictly within the anti-discrimination legislation - all applications are assessed strictly on their completeness, merit and quality of references.
Applications must be in the office by 10am each Monday and these are processed as quickly as possible. At the lease commencement date, you will be required to pay two weeks' rent (less any deposit paid) in advance, plus the equivalent of four weeks rent as bond. Additionally a $15 lease preparation fee is required to be paid at the time of signing the lease.
The above must be paid in full, in either bank cheque or money order, made payable to North Nor'West Property. We will lodge the bond on your behalf and the NSW Department of Fair Trading will in turn send you a receipt for the bond amount.
North Nor'West Property accepts rent from tenants via bank cheque, money order or direct bank transfer only. Cash can not be accepted. The standard method of payment we recommend is establishing a periodic direct bank transfer as this ensures your rent is always paid on time directly from your designated bank account on the due date.
