What is the purpose of the Reiwa Tenancy Application form?
The Reiwa Tenancy Application form is designed for individuals who wish to enter into a Residential Tenancy Agreement with a lessor. It collects essential background information about the applicant to help the lessor or property manager determine the most suitable tenant. This form is not a binding agreement; rather, it serves to gather details about the applicant's rental requirements, intentions regarding pets, and any special conditions they may have.
What information do I need to provide in the application?
Applicants must provide personal details, including their names, contact information, and the address of the premises they wish to rent. They should also specify the number of occupants, rental period, and any pets they plan to bring. Additionally, the form requires bank account details for potential refunds and a declaration confirming the accuracy of the provided information.
What fees are associated with the application process?
Applicants may need to pay an option fee when submitting their application. If the application is successful, they will also need to pay a security bond, which can be up to four weeks' rent, and the first two weeks' rent in advance. If applicable, a pet bond may also be required. The total amount due will be outlined in the application form.
What happens if my application is not successful?
If an applicant is not chosen for the tenancy, any option fee paid will be refunded within seven days of the decision. This process ensures that applicants are not financially burdened if they are not selected for the rental.
What occurs if I am the successful applicant?
Upon approval, the lessor will provide a proposed Residential Tenancy Agreement. The applicant must then sign this agreement and comply with all stipulated requirements, such as paying the necessary fees and returning the signed document by the specified deadline. Failure to meet these conditions may result in the lapse of the option to enter into the agreement.
Can I request special conditions in my application?
Yes, applicants can specify any special conditions they wish to include in their application. However, it is important to note that the lessor is not obligated to accept these conditions. Therefore, applicants should be prepared for the possibility that their requests may not be accommodated.
