Can DocFilla fill a lease application that is a scanned photo?

Yes. Scanned pages are read by the vision agent, which finds the blanks the same way a person would.

Does the agent get my ID number from DocFilla?

No. DocFilla never sends a form to anyone unless you ask it to. You download the finished PDF and send it yourself, or the agent sends you a link and the completed copy goes back to them.

I am applying for three flats. Do I fill in three forms?

Upload each agent's form. Your saved details fill in on every one; only the property-specific lines are typed each time.

Can the agent send me the application to complete?

Yes. An agent with DocFilla sends you a link by email; you complete and sign on your phone and the copy returns to them.

Fill in a rental application online

Upload the agent's lease application and DocFilla fills your names, addresses, employer and bank details from your saved details. Sign on your phone and download.

Letting agents send the same application to every applicant, and every applicant types the same names, employer and three months of addresses by hand. DocFilla fills those from your saved details and leaves you the questions only you can answer, such as the property and the rent offered.

How it works for this form

1
Upload the application exactly as the agent sent it, whether it is a fillable PDF, a flat PDF or a photo of a printed form.
2
DocFilla finds every field on the page, including the one-character-per-box ID number and date rows, and fills the ones it already knows from My details.
3
Check the few that are left, such as the property address and the rent offered, sign, and download a flattened PDF the agent can open anywhere.

What the form asks for

Employer, position, time employed and gross monthly income
Bank details for the rent debit order
Number of occupants, pets and vehicles

A copy of your ID
Your last three payslips, or a letter from your employer
Three months of bank statements

A reference from your current landlord, if asked

Mistakes people make

Giving the previous landlord's number without checking it still works; agents phone it.
Leaving the income line blank because payslips are attached. The agent wants the number on the form.
Forgetting to sign the credit-check consent, which sends the whole application back.
Declaring a different number of occupants from the people who move in.
