Costs: deposit, rent in advance, utilities
Budget for the first month's rent + deposit (usually 1–2 months) before keys. Water, lights (often prepaid), refuse and fibre are extra unless stated. We itemise every cent in the lease summary so move-in day holds no surprises — and your deposit is receipted and invested as the Rental Housing Act requires.
Application checklist (get approved faster)
Send these with your first message: ID, 3 months' income proof, landlord/employer references, move-in date, occupants and pets. Verified income of roughly 3× the rent clears most checks. Landlords: our 8% management service verifies tenants, collects rent and handles maintenance for you.
Leases done right
Every GOODNESSD lease records the deposit, inspection (with photos), maintenance split, notice period, annual increase and breach process. You get a signed copy plus the inspection report on day one — the two documents that protect deposits at move-out.
