In Australia it seems like the opposite.

$2000 a month in rent? They're basically asking for bank statements, payslips, work reference, ID and a whole bunch of fuckery. Way more information than what they should need.

But can they afford $1600 a month on a mortgage? Nah bank will deny them seemily because they can't afford it twice over.
