The Reiwa Tenancy Application form is a crucial document for anyone looking to enter into a residential tenancy agreement in Western Australia. This form is designed to collect essential information from prospective tenants, helping lessors identify the most suitable applicants for their properties. If you're ready to take the next step in securing your new home, fill out the form by clicking the button below.
The Reiwa Tenancy Application form is used by potential tenants to apply for a residential tenancy agreement. It collects essential information about the applicant, their rental requirements, and any special conditions they may have, such as pet ownership. This information helps the lessor or property manager determine the suitability of the applicant.
Applicants must provide personal details, rental preferences, the number of occupants, and any pets they wish to bring. Additionally, bank account information for potential refunds and any special conditions should be included. It's crucial to ensure that all information is accurate and complete.
When applying, you may need to pay an option fee, which varies based on the weekly rent. If you are successful, you will also need to pay a security bond, a pet bond (if applicable), and the first two weeks' rent. The total amount due will be specified in the application form.
If you are the successful applicant, the lessor will provide you with a proposed residential tenancy agreement. You will need to sign this agreement and comply with its terms to establish a binding tenancy agreement. If you have paid an option fee, it may be applied towards your rent or refunded.
In the event that your application is not approved, any option fee you paid will be refunded within seven days of the decision. It's important to keep your bank details updated to ensure a smooth refund process.
Yes, you can request special conditions in your application, such as permission for pets. However, the lessor is not obligated to accept these conditions. It's advisable to discuss any specific needs directly with the property manager.
To apply, complete the application form and submit it to the property manager along with any required fees. The property manager will then review your application, check your background, and make a decision. Communication regarding the outcome will follow shortly after the review.
If you want to access the personal information collected during the application process, you can contact the property manager. You have the right to correct any inaccuracies in your information as well.

When filling out the Reiwa Tenancy Application form, applicants often make several common mistakes that can affect their chances of securing a rental agreement. One frequent error is failing to provide complete and accurate personal information. This includes not listing all proposed tenants or omitting important details such as contact information. Incomplete applications may lead to delays or rejections, as property managers rely on this information to assess the applicant's suitability.
Another mistake is neglecting to specify any special conditions that may be important to the applicant. For instance, if a tenant wishes to have pets, they must clearly indicate this on the form. If this information is missing, the lessor may assume the applicant does not have any specific needs, potentially resulting in misunderstandings later in the process.
Additionally, applicants sometimes overlook the requirement to pay the option fee at the time of application submission. If the option fee is applicable, it must be paid in full to avoid complications. Without this payment, the application may not be considered, and the applicant risks losing the opportunity to secure the tenancy.
Furthermore, individuals may fail to read the instructions thoroughly regarding the payment of the security bond and first rent payment. It is essential to understand the amounts required and the timeline for these payments. Misunderstanding these requirements can lead to missed deadlines and the potential forfeiture of the application.
Lastly, some applicants do not take the time to review their application for accuracy before submission. Simple errors, such as typos or incorrect figures, can create doubts about the applicant's attention to detail. Such mistakes may result in a negative impression on the property manager, impacting the overall evaluation of the application.
