Hello,
I am new to openrent, I have a tenant who is interested & gave me holding deposit before I did the check, I started the checks immediately, am I OK to not accept if the checks dont come back clean?
Yes, of course. If the tenant lied in their application, you may also be able to keep the holding deposit.

Yes of course. Accepting the deposit is not a commitment to then rent to someone
If they cant afford it, their ID cant be verified or eg they have bad credit history and didnt tell you, why would you rent to them? If the people proposed dont match what they told you or basicslly anything at all is suspicious and you cant get a good answer - find someone ekse
Note the Openrent referencing report doesnt cover everything eg it doesn’t include right to rent which you need to do separately. Ditto OR wont check if your property is in an area needing a license or if it is an HMO.
.
Good luck
