  3. Add any required files to the Tenancy Application
    • See here for information on adding files to forms
    4. NB: Any files added to the Residential Tenancy Application will be provided to the applicant during the Apply Now process. These will also be emailed to the applicant once they have submitted their application for the property.
  4. Click <Save>

Your prepared Residential Tenancy Application for the property is now ready for sending!
