• Tenant referencing (also commonly referred to as Tenant Check Report) is a term that refers to the checks that a landlord or agent perform when assessing the suitability of potential tenants and guarantors.
  • A typical tenant referencing service/check will include a credit check, previous landlord‘s reference, bank and employment details, identity & fraud information, and a search into CCJs, Decrees, and other court information.
  • Some tenant referencing services will be more thorough than others, and some suppliers will offer various packages, so you can decide how thorough you want to be with your checks. Needless to say, it's always best to be as thorough as possible in order to help minimise your risks.
  • Tenant referencing is a critical and cost effective procedure that every landlord should conduct when assessing the suitability of a potential tenant.
