RENTAL APPLICATION

Apartment application letter: keep it concise and specific.

A cover letter introduces the prospective tenants, explains their interest in the property and complements the form without unnecessary repetition.

WHAT MATTERS

Prepare complete, relevant documents in good time

After a suitable viewing, the next step should be clear. Requested documents should be complete, current and easy to read. At the same time, the dossier should contain only information that is necessary and intended for the specific application.
