12 pages in this section

01

Full tenant reference

Bring the core applicant evidence into one traceable reference and make unresolved points visible.

02

Identity and fraud

Record identity evidence and flag material inconsistencies without treating identity as the whole tenancy decision.

03

Right to Rent

Support the prescribed Right to Rent checking process with a clear record of the route and evidence used.

04

Credit and public records

Keep relevant adverse-credit and public-record findings distinct from income evidence and Open Banking data.

05

Affordability

Compare verified income evidence with the proposed rent using a visible, reviewable affordability method.

06

Employment and income

Record employment and income evidence with its source, age and any unresolved inconsistency.

07

Self-employed and contractors

Assess applicants whose income does not fit a standard monthly payroll pattern without forcing a false binary result.

08

Rental history

Record the evidence returned by a previous landlord or agent and show clearly when it cannot be verified.

09

Guarantor reference

Reference a proposed guarantor through a clearly defined route and record how the guarantor relates to the application.

10

Open Banking

Use consented account data as one possible income and affordability input. It is not a substitute for adverse-credit checks.

11

International applicants

Provide a defined evidence route for applicants whose identity, income or rental history sits outside the usual UK sources.

12

Company tenants

Keep company-tenant checks separate from individual tenant referencing and define the evidence needed for the legal entity.
