Applying for a rental property with ApplySafe lets you complete your entire application online, from your preferred lease details and proof of identity through to income, rental history and references. You can log in to your PropertyMe account, create a new account or continue as a guest, and save your progress to finish the application later.
However, the information you need to provide varies depending on the state the property is in, and selecting Resume Later won't save anything entered on the screen you're currently on. That is why it's worth gathering your documents before you start and completing each section before saving your progress.
This article will guide you through creating and submitting an application and explain what's required in each section of the form.
