Pre-inspection rental application completed. I’m really missing the days when you would go to the real estate agent, grab the keys for anything you were interested in to go and have a look, and if you liked it you just showed some basic id & proof of income and the place was yours.
Yup! Many less hoops to jump through to get the mortgage than deal with a new rental app. Seems they want damn dna samples now, and it’s all in highly insecure third party databases.
Yeah, some you have to apply for and be accepted onto a shortlist before you get to inspect it. This one sends you the link for the application at the same time as the registration to inspect, I’m not actually sure if you have to do the application first but I figure it can’t hurt.

Omg same. It’s awful the hoops you’ve got to jump through now!
no hoops for landlords or REAs tho, none at all
I’m afraid you’re quickly learning how dramatically different it is to 20 years ago. Welcome to what many of us younger ones are dealing with 😭

You’ve got to do a pre-inspection rental application?! 😅 It’s been a while for me.
