Supporting Documents
Preparing your documents in advance will streamline your rental application and strengthen your chances of securing your ideal property.
Submit all documents listed in sections 1–4 for every applicant — including guarantors, if applicable. Section 5 is optional but can help strengthen your application. All documents must be current (issued within the past 30 days).
1. Rental Application
Download and complete Form 410 – Rental Application fully, including all fields and professional references. Incomplete forms may delay processing. A single application form supports up to two applicants plus children; if there are more than two applicants or a guarantor is required, submit an additional form.
Form 410 (editable PDF)
Tip: Save the form after completing it, then close it before attaching it to an email to prevent data loss.
2. Credit report
Submit a full credit report (score + history) for each applicant and guarantor. You can obtain this from:
• Equifax
3. Proof of income
Provide proof of income for each applicant (and guarantor, if applicable) unless combined household income already supports the rent:
If you are employed:
• Employment Letter – Signed and up to date, confirming position and compensation.
• Pay Stubs – Your three most recent pay stubs.
If you are self‑employed:
• Two most recent Notices of Assessment (NOAs) or equivalent tax documentation showing consistent income.
• (Optional) To strengthen your application, you may also include bank statements, profit/loss summaries, or major client contracts.
4. Identification
Submit a photo or scan of a valid government-issued photo ID.
5. Additional Supporting Documents (Optional)
Optional documents can help you stand out as a desirable tenant:
• Landlord or professional reference letters – Highlight positive rental history and reliability.
• Professional profile highlights – For example, a LinkedIn link or brief career overview that reflects employment stability.
• Other relevant materials – Such as proof of savings or commendations that reinforce financial responsibility.
Strengthening Your Offer with Less‑Than‑Excellent Credit
A) Provide a Guarantor
A guarantor acts as a co‑applicant and must provide the same documentation.
B) Increase Your Deposit
While standard deposits are first and last month’s rent, offering 3–7 months upfront can reassure landlords and make your offer more competitive.
