Compare rental options

Compare rental options using the same criteria

Begin with four questions: what is the full cost, where is the home, which documents are requested and what does the contract say? Use rental costs, rental documents, rental basics and the guide library to build the comparison.

Cost

Rent, deposit, service charges, utilities, insurance and moving costs

Location

City, commute, neighbourhood fit and access to daily needs

Application

Identity, income, employment, references and registration details

Contract

Term, notice, repairs, registration and ways to ask questions

Keep the same headings for every option. This gives you a clear record to review with the appropriate official or specialist source.
