The free kit · Queensland · no sign-up for any of it
Nine things to do before you apply anywhere.
Every one of them is something the agent notices. Built on the processing side of the pile; everything runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
The application checklist
Tick off your documents and watch a readiness score fill. Knows the two-document rule, tells you what to redact, adjusts if you have a pet.
Start ticking → CalculatorRent-to-income check
The number a leasing team works out in the first ninety seconds. Add every job, see how it reads, and generate a one-page income summary to hand in.
Check the numbers → CalculatorMove-in cost calculator
Bond, rent in advance, and the costs that arrive in the same fortnight. Built on what agencies ask for in our experience, split into what's refundable and what's gone.
Work it out → CalculatorBreak lease calculator
Leaving a fixed term early? Queensland caps the reletting cost on a sliding scale. See your cap, your number, and the date it drops.
Work it out → CheckerCan they ask for that?
Tick what an agent has requested. See what they can require, what they can't, and where you're past the two-per-category limit.
Check the request → SharedHousehold ready check
Applying with housemates, a partner or family? One link for everyone: see who has their documents ready and who is still finding payslips. Stores first names and ticks only.
Start the check → GuideRenting with a pet
Applying with a pet, adding one later (Form 21) and body corporate approval are three different processes with different clocks. Each one, in order.
Read the guide → GuideThe platforms, explained
2Apply, Snug, realestate.com.au, Domain: who owns what, how to set each one up, and where share-house applications silently fail.
Read the guide → GuideSelf-employed? Show the number, not the pile
One page from your accountant does what seven documents can’t. What it should say, what to attach behind it, and the casual and contract version.
Read the guide → CheckerThe twenty-second test
Applications get skimmed, not read. Answer ten questions and see which parts of your pack are clear at a glance, and which ones make somebody stop and wonder.
Test your pack →If you only have twenty minutes, do them in this order.
Each one sets up the next. Done in this order, the day you find the right listing you're applying within the hour instead of the week.

- 6The twenty-second testLast thing before you submit: does the whole pack read clearly?
- 7Household ready checkApplying with others? One link, and you all see who is ready.
Leaving a place rather than applying for one? That's a different job. Check the break-lease number before you pay it.
Already renting? Different stage, different page.
Repairs, rent increases, water charges, ending a tenancy, getting the bond back. The tools above are about applying; the Queensland renter help map covers what happens next, stage by stage, and where official help is.
These get you organised. A review gets you the second look.
Everything above finds the gaps you can see. Application Assist finds the ones you can’t: a person with years of Brisbane leasing experience reads your actual pack the way an agent will, rewrites the cover letter and tells you exactly what to change, from $199, within 48 business hours.
