The challenge
Why is getting a rental approved so difficult?
Agencies often receive many applications for the same property. Landlords and property managers weigh your income and financial capacity, employment, rental history, references — and how complete and accurate your application is.
Even applicants who can comfortably afford the rent can miss out when their information is incomplete or poorly presented. And you rarely find out why.
“Unfortunately, another applicant has been successful.”
If you don't know what to improve, you keep making the same mistakes. That's where we come in.
A client profile
Built for people who know the details matter.
Not a promise of magic — a clearer, better-prepared rental application.
Mark started in sales at 23 and worked his way up through Sales Manager and GM roles. He has been a Managing Director for the past eight years, so he knows the business from the ground up.
Married with two teenage children, he is looking for a rental application process that is organised, realistic and easy to trust — not another agency promising “magic”.
That is the kind of person we design for: capable applicants who may have the budget and the right circumstances, but want their information presented clearly and followed through properly.

Why Tenant Help?
The details matter more than you think.
Application specialists
Our focus is rental applications, not selling or managing properties.
Personalised approach
We adapt our assistance to your circumstances, whether you're employed, studying, self-employed or new to Australia.
Independent support
We work for you, not landlords or real estate agencies.
Simple and online
Start from anywhere in the world. We review your circumstances before inviting you to join.
No guaranteed approvals. Just focused, honest application support.
Why Rent Your Own Home?
Your own home. Your own space.
Save on long-term accommodation
Long Airbnb stays can be expensive. A traditional rental may offer better value if you're staying in Australia for several months.
Share the costs
Moving with your partner or friends? Renting an entire property together may cost less than paying for separate rooms.
Enjoy your privacy
Live with the people you choose, not strangers. Enjoy greater independence and your own living space.
How it works
First, let's see if we're a good fit.
We don't accept every applicant automatically. You see how we work and every fee before paying anything.
01
Request your free assessment
Tell us your rental plans, locations, budget and move-in date.
02
We review your profile
Individually, to see whether our assistance suits your situation.
03
Receive your invitation
If accepted, we email how we work, your responsibilities, the fees and next steps.
04
Get started
Accept the conditions and pay the initial fee. We guide your documents and search.
05
Prepare and apply
We support your applications and follow up. The landlord or agent decides.
You choose the properties. We help with the applications.
You find suitable homes, book inspections with the agency and attend them yourself or send a trusted representative. Plan to consider at least 10 suitable properties. Tenant Help doesn't book or attend inspections for you.
Timing Matters
When applying for a property, you should be ready to start your lease and pay rent on or close to its advertised availability date.
Landlords and agents may prefer applicants who can start sooner, as this helps minimise vacancy periods.

New to Australia?
You don't necessarily need Australian rental history. We assess what you already have. If your budget is well below the market or your timeframe is unrealistic, we'll tell you — we want you to join only when you're genuinely ready.
Simple, transparent pricing
Pay for support. The success fee only upon approval.
Free assessment
AUD 0
We review your profile and tell you if our service may suit you. No obligation.
Initial service fee
AUD 50
One-time, for accepted clients, after you've reviewed and agreed to the service conditions.
Success fee
AUD 350
Only when an application for a property we directly assisted with is formally approved.
No approval? No success fee.
Why only AUD 50 to get started?
We carefully select our clients and are confident in the value of our support.
The AUD 50 is a small commitment from you, not a reflection of the work involved. That's why most of our fee is only payable if your rental application is approved.
Frequently asked questions
Do you guarantee rental approval?
No. Approval is entirely at the discretion of landlords or authorised agents. We help you prepare more complete, accurate and well-organised applications.
Are you a real estate agency?
No. Tenant Help is an independent rental application consultancy. We are not landlords, property managers or licensed real estate agents, and we don't own or manage properties.
Do you provide rental properties?
No. We help with the search and application process, but don't provide or guarantee access to specific properties.
Do you help people looking for a room?
Our service is designed for people renting entire apartments or houses, including couples and groups.
Can you help if I'm not in Australia yet?
Yes, our guidance is online. You'll still need to meet the agency's inspection and application requirements; a trusted representative can attend inspections for you where the agency accepts it.
Do I need Australian rental history?
Not necessarily. Employment evidence, financial records or overseas rental references may help. We assess each case individually.
How long does it take?
There's no guaranteed timeframe. Allow at least 14 days, ideally 21–30.
Do you attend inspections?
No. You arrange and attend them yourself or through a trusted representative.
What if my application isn't approved?
You don't owe the AUD 350 success fee for an unsuccessful application.
Can I pay immediately?
No. We first review your free assessment. If accepted, we explain the conditions and payment before you decide.
