Rental applications?

Another thing you can do (if possible with finances) is to offer a larger bond. A bit of peace of mind for the owners I guess. A lot of the landlords at my old work were ok with pets, especially with people who had just sold (I wonder if they thought maybe owner occupiers were more careful?)

We can definitely offer a larger bond...Any idea how much extra to offer?

I paid an extra $1000 for my dogs. Same as you no rental history.
They looked at the pics from my house for sale on real estate.com to see how I lived etc
And landlords were happy with that+ the pet bond.

(I paid 1.5 month rent for my bond)

Yes, something like this ^^^ The money is held in trust by the government and you will (all going well) get it back, so it's up to how much you feel. I think 1.5 - 2 months rent is reasonable.

This!
We sold our house last year. .. and head both owned and not rented for 10 years. Our agent wrote us an amazing letter.
I also referenced our sold property on real estate . Com so they could see photos of how tidy when we applied for rentals. We had a dog too.

This is what we did and it helped enormously.
