Applying for a rental with other people is simpler when everyone's details go through one application. With ApplySafe, each leaseholder completes their own part of a joint application, so all applicants' information, documents and references are submitted together for the property.
However, one leaseholder must start the application and complete their part first, adding the names and email addresses of the other leaseholders along the way. Each additional leaseholder then receives an email from PropertyMe prompting them to complete their section. General details entered by the initial leaseholder, such as the preferred move-in date, can't be changed by anyone else.
This article will guide you through starting and filling out your part of a joint application, and explain what each application section requires.
