The current (joint) tenants contract is periodic and husband has moved out weeks ago. I have served both section 21 notice today. The wife wants a new solo tenant contract but her salary will not pass the credit/ affordability check. She has provided a gurantor today. Could I still use OpenRent service to have the guarantor credit check (paid service), how to do this on Open Rent app? Do I still need to carry out credit check on the wife? Once the guarantor has pass the credit check, could I produce a new tenants on Open Rent Now for free ? Or need to pay a new short membership to get it done?
@Haiyen you need a new contract and new credit checks as her income may have changed.
if she wont pass affordability checks why would you want her to stay, potentially get into arrears (not good for her or you) and have to try to get back from a guarantor?
just organize viewings and let wife apply like anybody else. Only if she is best candidate should you even think of doing new credit checks for her and a guarantor.
Good luck
