What is Tenant Referencing?

Tenant referencing is the process of conducting pre-tenancy checks on your potential tenants and their guarantors before granting a tenancy agreement. The process will provide a snapshot of an applicant’s current financial circumstances which will help you decide if you wish to proceed with a tenancy.

Most tenants will not cause any problems during their tenancy. However, some will. From consistently paying the rent late to damaging your property or causing issues with neighbours. All of this can make life for you very difficult and could end up costing you money through eviction fees & legal costs.
