Fortunately, providing a clean rental history is far from the only way to prove your reliability. Here are five tips to help you secure your first lease:

1. Find a guarantor

Most importantly, the landlords want to make sure that you pay the rent on time. One of the easiest ways to reassure them is to find a guarantor – he can support your application and promise to pay rent if you can't meet their requirements. 

In particular, young people may get a guarantor – a parent or a family member – to support their application, which ensures that the rent will be paid on time. Revenues can be tight, and providing guarantees can give young people the most important start to the market. Remember, once you have a six-month rental record, you are on the road.

2. Set up direct debit

Many rental offices will insist that tenants use a direct debit payment system to pay rent. But even if it is not required, it helps to provide it as part of your rental application. This shows that you are committed to paying rent on time, which is one of the most important abilities of the renter.

3. Show proof of regular payment

Have you bought electrical appliances or appliances with financial contracts? If this is the case, presenting proof of regular payments to your property manager will be a great help in proving your financial credibility. Any statement that shows a regular payment record, even if it is not a rental, can help you solve the problem. We need to show consistency and commitment to the landlord in the application of potential tenants.

4. Provide evidence of your income

Tag is confirming that the income is great for the first time. The best way to prove that your income is enough to pay rent is to ask your employer for a letter of recommendation. This letter should include your exact salary. How long have you already been working in your current company? Ideally, a few words indicate that you are doing well and are unlikely to be fired soon.

If you are a freelancer, you need to provide as much information as possible about where your income comes from and how often you get paid.

If your grandparents give you $20 a week to "buy something for yourself," write it on the application form. Every little bit helps prove that you have the ability to pay rent on time.
