Most landlords or property owners will request a list of personal references as part of the application process. This is another way for them to verify who you are, get to know your character and gauge if you'll be a reliable tenant. Likewise, you may want to check out who your future landlord is.
If you paid rent on time in the past, show them your tenancy agreement and rent book or bank statements to prove this. You could also ask for a 'character reference' - a letter from an employer or someone who knows you well, to show that you're reliable.
