In Australia you may also be asked to provide a copy of your rent payment history. Edit: >It's pretty standard to require a year or two of the first couple pages of your tax returns, and 2-3 months of bank statements, to prove your income as well, since standard background/credit checks don't have that. That sounds insane to me.
