References for tenants
REFERENCES
A good tenant is a tenant who pays! When a prospective tenant has been found, a holding deposit is taken in order to establish a level of commitment. We then get a credit reference agency to take up references on the prospective tenant. These cover employment, bank, previous Landlord and a consumer credit records (showing county court judgements) to make sure your tenant’s will be able to afford the rent.
Individual circumstances, such as redundancy, can affect the tenants ability to pay the rent. Appleton Estates can refer you to insurance companies that will give you total peace of mind by arranging to have your rent guaranteed. These schemes make sure that your income will be secure even if the rent is not paid. Please ask for more information, some schemes are available at very little cost.
