Information For Tenants

Prospective tenants will be required to fill out a referencing application form and complete an on-line application with our referencing partners Rentshield. 

They will need to provide photographic ID, Immigration/Visa paperwork if requested, and any additional information that may be required depending on individual circumstances, or at the request of our client.

Rentshield will check prospective tenants credit history for adverse records (CCJ’s etc), carry out an affordability assessment for the proposed rental amount and seek references from Employers and Landlords where applicable.
