What documents do I need to apply for an apartment?

The documents you need depend on your circumstances & whether you are applying for a property in England or Ireland. We will tell you which documents to provide as part of the online referencing process.

Commonly requested documents

• Identity: an accepted passport, identity document or other evidence appropriate to the check.
• Income: recent payslips, employment details, pension statements, accounts or evidence of other income.
• Address: evidence of your current address or address history where needed.
• References: contact details for an employer or previous landlord, if applicable.
• Other applicants: each proposed tenant may need to provide their own documents.
• Guarantor: identity & financial details if a guarantor is required.

For a tenancy in England, each relevant adult must also satisfy the right-to-rent requirements, which may involve a Home Office share code or accepted documents. Irish applications are subject to different requirements.

Do not send documents until you have received the verified secure submission instructions. If you do not have a particular document, explain your circumstances so we can consider suitable alternatives.
