the QLD Government website www.hpw.qld.gov.au/nras or phone 13 74 68 to check your eligibility and apply. You

You will only need to complete this application once, as it is valid for 3 months.
This means you can use it to apply for as many properties as you like during this period and will only need to attend
the inspection of future properties you wish to apply for via registration on realestate.com.au.
After the 3-month period, you will need to renew both this application and your supporting documents (Step 2).
PLEASE NOTE: Tenancy databases are used to protect a property owner’s investment. However, unfair and old listings
can disadvantage some people when they try to secure private rental housing.
What this means for you
As a property manager, we are required by law to let you know which databases we use to check your rental history. At
Horizon Housing we use the Equifax and Barclays MIS tenancy databases.
What if I am listed?
If you are listed on a tenancy database that we use, we are required by law to let you know that you are listed, and
provide you with the contact details of the database operator so you can find out information about your
listing.
Where can I get further information?
If you would like more information about tenancy database laws, you can visit the Residential Tenancies Authority
website at rta.qld.
ov.au or call 1300 366 311.
2. PROVIDE YOUR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS
Applications will be processed within three weeks of attending a property inspection.
