✍️ Make yours free →A great cover letter opens the door. Agents then ask for the same few things, so have these ready and you can apply in minutes.
RenterIQ's free Renter Resume holds all of this once, then copies it into any agency portal, field by field. Your ID stays with you, never uploaded.
Applying soon? It's worth knowing what an agent sees. You can check your rental history for free and learn your rights first.
📋 Build your free Renter Resume →A rental cover letter is a short, genuine note to the agent that tells them who you are, why this property suits you, and why you'll be a reliable tenant. Keep it to 200 to 300 words and personalise it to each place. Here's how to write one that actually gets read:

✨ Make mine free →Dear [Agent or Property Manager],
My name is [your name] and I'd love to be considered for [property address]. I'm a [profession] at [employer], and I'm after a long-term place I can settle into.
[Property feature you love] is exactly what I've been hoping to find. I really like [specific aspect, e.g. the light, the layout, how close it is to work], and the location suits me for [reason, e.g. my commute, family, lifestyle].
I look after the places I live in. I've been at my current address for [duration], always paid rent on time, kept things clean, and stayed in touch with my agent. I'm a non-smoker, [pet status], and I'm happy to provide references from my current and previous landlords.
Thanks for considering my application. I'd be glad to view the property again or answer any questions you have.
Kind regards,
[Your name]
200 to 300 words is the sweet spot. Long enough to introduce yourself genuinely, short enough that a busy agent will actually read it. RenterIQ's builder targets ~250 words by default.
You can use the same structure, but always swap out the property-specific details (address, suburb, what you love about the place). Agents notice when a letter is clearly recycled. RenterIQ's builder makes it easy to generate a fresh letter per property.
