“How does a low-income earner qualify for a rental property?” – Tenant, NSW

We asked Rental Department Manager at Nelson Alexander Real Estate, Heidi Sparks, for her insight into this question:

Heidi said low-income earners could qualify for rental properties.

“They can still qualify for a rental property as long as they can show a constant income stream, government assistance income (if applicable) and that they have enough funds in the bank to pay the bond and rent,” she said.

“If the property they are applying for is not beyond their budget, in terms of price, there should not be a problem.”
