Moving to Australia is exciting, but securing a rental can be one of the most stressful parts of the journey. International students, skilled workers, and new migrants often face barriers that local applicants never have to think about.
This is where Find My Home becomes a valuable support system. By understanding these challenges and guiding renters through the process, Find My Home increases your chances of getting approved faster and with less stress.

The most common challenges newcomers experience and how Find My Home helps them overcome each one…
Limited or No Australian Rental History
Most homeowners and agents prefer applicants who already have a strong rental history in Australia. For newcomers, this often feels like an impossible cycle. You cannot rent without a rental history, yet you cannot build a rental history because no one gives you a chance.
Find My Home helps renters present themselves strongly through alternative documents and professional application strategies that highlight reliability, stability and financial readiness.

Difficulty Providing Local Documents and Identity Requirements
Australian rental requirements can feel overwhelming. Many newcomers are unfamiliar with the 100-point ID system, acceptable financial documents, or what is needed to prove their ability to pay rent.
Find My Home assists renters in preparing the correct documents, understanding local requirements, and ensuring nothing important is missed. This reduces delays and increases approval chances.
Language Barriers and Difficulty Understanding the Process
Understanding rental terms, legal conditions, and application forms can be challenging for renters who are not fluent in English. Misunderstanding small details can lead to mistakes or incomplete applications.
Find My Home simplifies the entire process by explaining rental terms, reviewing applications, and helping newcomers communicate clearly with agents. This gives renters confidence and reduces the stress caused by language barriers.
Competing in a Highly Competitive Rental Market
Australian rental markets, especially in major cities, move quickly. Properties are often approved within days, and newcomers may struggle to compete against local applicants who know how the process works.
Find My Home guides renters on how to stand out with a strong application, what documents to prepare in advance, and how to respond quickly when opportunities appear. This strategic approach helps renters move ahead of the competition.
Challenges with Reference Checks from Overseas
Many agents prefer local references, which international renters may not have. References from overseas employers, property managers, or universities are sometimes dismissed or difficult to verify.
Find My Home provides guidance on how to present international references in a professional and credible way. We help renters format documents, provide supporting evidence, and communicate effectively with agents, making it easier for them to trust your background.
