3. Financial evidence: recent bank statements to confirm affordability.

4. Rental history or references: previous landlords or agents, either in Australia or overseas.

A prior long-term rental history in Australia is not mandatory, especially for international renters or first-time tenants applying for a long-term rental in Cairns City, but references can strengthen your application.
