Do you request Bank Statements/Payslips?

[Sam]

Hey @Nilesh and @lesley247,

There’s a good discussion of this topic here, too:

Requesting Bank Statements - Do you do it?

Hi all I can see why tenants do not really enjoy providing bank statements as it is quite a personal thing. However I’d be interested to know if you find it acceptable to ask for them? My view is there various benefits to seeing statements such as they show the tenant paid their previous landlord regular and on time, it shows that what they claim to earn actually hits their bank account, it confirms the address they provide, you may spot any “dodgy debts” and so on. I use the Rent Now service…
