Referencing tenants

Hi all,

This is the first time I’ve used open rent. I have two prospective tenants who would be living together, using openrents comprehensive referencing do I have to order two seperate checks or will both of them be included on one?

Thanks in advance

You’ll need to check each tenant separately.

However, prior to doing that, have you requested 6 months of bank statements from each of them to check affordability, cash flow, sources of income, etc? If not, do that first. Only if you’re happy with what you find from the statements should you proceed to pay for referencing.

Thankyou for the advice!

Hi, just wondered how do you usually request 6 month bank statement - I mean how / which method do the tenants send them to you? Thanks

I just say could you please give me the last six months of statements for each of your bank accounts. They send copies as pdfs to the email address i give them.

You can apply to Openrent to keep the holding deposit, but if you didnt take one its much harder and would involve suing them.
