The Problem
Sydney's rental vacancy rate sits at just 1.5%. That means for every property listed, dozens of applicants are competing for the same lease. Your application isn't just a form — it's your first impression. And in this market, first impressions are everything.
Every agency uses a different portal. 2Apply, Ignite, REA — you're re-entering the same information over and over.
Is your application missing something? Does it look professional enough? Are you framing your situation correctly?
Between inspections, work, and life — who has time to meticulously prepare 10+ applications?
The emotional toll of repeated knockbacks is real. You need every edge you can get.
What You Get
Every document, template, and guide you need — professionally prepared, strategically framed, and formatted for the portal you're using.
Two variants — formal agency tone and friendly private landlord tone. Tailored to your situation.
A professional 150-250 word tenant profile highlighting your reliability signals.
Every document you need, with templates for anything you're missing.
Ready-to-send emails for employer and rental references.
A one-page profile for your furry co-applicant. Included in Priority Pack & Ongoing Concierge; available as an add-on for Application Pack.
Portal-specific instructions, file naming conventions, and quality checklist.
Every pack includes professionally formatted documents, ready for 2Apply, Ignite, REA, or email submission.
How It Works
Answer 8–10 questions about your situation — target suburbs, household, employment, and rental history. Takes about 5 minutes.
We review your details and confirm your package. Turnaround begins once we have everything we need.
Your complete application pack is delivered by email — cover letter, rental CV, templates, and a portal-specific submission guide.
Review your pack, request your included revision if needed, then submit to agents or landlords yourself. You stay in control.

Founder, Rental Buddy
Sydney, NSW
10 years renting in Sydney across the Eastern Suburbs and the Inner West.
"I built Rental Buddy because I've been through the process myself — more times than I'd like to admit."
After a decade of renting in Sydney — navigating tight markets, confusing portals, and applications that felt like job interviews — I noticed the same pattern every time: the people who got approved weren't always the best tenants. They were the ones with the most polished, complete applications.
Most renters have everything they need to get approved. They just don't know how to present it. Rental Buddy exists to close that gap — not with tricks or inflated claims, but with clear, professional documentation that gives agents and landlords what they need to say yes.
What renters say
Names withheld at customer request. Quotes are representative of typical outcomes — individual results vary.
I'd applied for four properties without any luck. After Rental Buddy prepared my cover letter and CV, I was approved for the first one I submitted to. The difference was immediate.
Sam J.
Renter, Inner West Sydney
As a self-employed person I always struggled to explain my income to agents. The letter they wrote made my situation clear and professional. I got the apartment I wanted.
Jasmin M.
Freelancer, North Shore
I had no rental history at all — I'd been living with family. They knew exactly how to frame that and what references to use. Approved within 48 hours of submitting.

First-time renter, Surry Hills
