A rental expense loan is a personal loan that covers upfront rental costs such as the bond, first rent payment, or moving fees, so you can secure a property even when savings are tight.
Lenders expect you to spend the money on rental‐related costs like the bond, initial rent, removalist fees, or basic furniture for the new place; using it for unrelated purchases can breach the loan agreement.
Lenders usually check four things:
1. Credit score – a higher score earns better rates, though lower scores may still be accepted at higher costs.
2. Income – regular pay shows you can meet the repayments.
3. Employment – stable work is preferred, but some lenders accept benefits or self-employed income.
4. Debt-to-income ratio – your total debts plus the new loan must sit within a manageable slice of your take-home pay.
A rent expense loan is a type of personal loan specifically intended to help cover costs associated with renting a property, such as the security deposit, first month's rent, and moving expenses. These loans can provide financial assistance to renters who need immediate funds to secure a rental.
After you accept the offer, we normally deposit the full amount into your bank account within one business day, which lets you meet your rental deadline without stress.
The application triggers a hard inquiry that can lower your score slightly at first, but paying every instalment on time will improve your score over time, while missed payments will drag it down.
Have three documents ready:
1. A government issued ID to confirm your identity
2. Recent pay slips to prove your income
3. Bank statements
You need to be at least 18, earn a regular income that is not only from Centrelink, and have avoided bankruptcy or a Part 9 Debt Agreement in the past six months. We also run a credit check to confirm you can manage the repayments.
