# Rental application documents checklist

Organise your rental application: confirm the permitted documents, prepare readable copies and share them with the right recipient.

## Confirm what is needed

- [ ] Request the list of documents expected for the application
- [ ] Check which requested documents are permitted under local rules
- [ ] Confirm who will receive and review the application
- [ ] Confirm the submission deadline
- [ ] Ask which file formats and sizes are accepted
- [ ] Check whether a guarantor is needed for your situation

## Prepare the copies

- [ ] Gather the permitted identity document requested
- [ ] Gather the permitted evidence of your current situation requested
- [ ] Gather the permitted income evidence requested
- [ ] Ask any guarantor to prepare only the permitted documents requested
- [ ] Check every page is complete and readable
- [ ] Name files clearly so the recipient can identify each document

## Share and follow up

- [ ] Check the final folder contains no unrelated personal files
- [ ] Check the recipient’s contact details through a known channel
- [ ] Share the requested copies with an expiring private link, for example using [DocBunker](https://docbunker.app/en)
- [ ] Keep a record of the documents sent and the sending date
- [ ] Confirm the recipient can open the submitted files
- [ ] Revoke the sharing link when access is no longer needed
