Appt Application form

Question

The landlord wants some info, like my Social Insurance number, proof of income, 3 non-relative references, my last 2 landlord's contact info, and a (refundable?) $100 application fee in cashier's cheque. He can't take a regular cheque.

Is this stuff usually required?

Answer 1

Yup, pretty standard

Answer 2

Sounds like a private estate agent. It's pretty standard and what you can expect from most lettings. If you can't do it, private lettings are your best bet.

Answer 3

Sounds pretty standard to me except for the refundable application fee.  Most of those are non-refundable so you're lucky there.

Answer 4

Yea this is normal,its out they weave out the BAD tennants.

Answer 5

I think that's pretty normal, they have to protect themselves. Also it takes time to check all those references and money to check your credit.
