Who can apply to rent goods from Difrent?

Almost any person can apply to become a Difrent person! To apply for rental, you just need to be 18 years+ of age and either an Australian citizen, permanent resident or a holder of a visa with at least 36 months remaining.

How long does it take to apply and what do I need?

Applying takes about 15 minutes, a little less if you do it online and have fast fingers! To make the application process as fast as possible, you should have your I.D. documents with you before you begin, as well as documents that have information about your financial situation, for example a recent payslip or Centrelink statement. If your favourite show is about to start or someone knocks on the door, don’t worry! You can save your application and come back later to continue from where you left off.

What will Difrent ask me during the application?

During the application we’ll need you to tell us a little about yourself, like your name, age, how we can contact you and your residential details. We’ll also need to collect from you some information about your financial situation. We also conduct a credit check as part of responsible lending requirements and internal credit guidelines.
