Rental contracts require identification and documents that verify your income. Gathering them late can stall the tenant screening, so prepare everything before you apply. If you use a personal guarantor, that person's documents are also needed; if you use a guarantor company, a separate application form and ID are typically required. Documents such as a residence certificate or seal registration certificate can take time to obtain, so request those early.
- Government-issued ID (driver's license, My Number card, passport, etc.)
- Residence certificate (issued within 3 months; one showing household relationships may be required)
- Proof of income (tax withholding certificate, recent pay stubs, employment verification letter, tax return, etc.)
