Potential tenant passed reference checks but has given excuse after excuse as to why she hasn’t signed contract, its been 10 days now & im starting to get worried. She is meant to move in next weekend (7 days time). I think she is trying to get me to cancel the application so that she doesnt lose her £200 deposit. What should I do? Thanks ---

Hi Holly, thank you for your post. I can see that the contract has now been signed by all parties. We have already sent the tenant the link for payment of the first month’s rent and security deposit. Please let us know at [https://www.openrent.co.uk/faq#i-have-more-questions](https://www.openrent.co.uk/faq#i-have-more-questions) if you would like anymore advice regarding this application. ---
