Tenant from abroad

For landlords advice

I am about to take a tenant from abroad. I am not able to do a credit check as they are from abroad.
They have offered me 6 months advance rent. They will give a holding deposit via OPENRENT. They seem like very good professional people and I am happy to go ahead. I would like to know if this is ok or is there any more checks i need to do?

You have to do a Right to Rent check to make sure they are legally allowed to.
If you get it wrong there is a heavy fine or jail.

You obviously have not met these people face to face, personally there is no way I would contemplate offering them a tenancy over the phone they may sound ok but are they ???

Before they arrive, provide them all the paperwork the law states you must provide: safety certificates, etc. Open rent provide a checklist for this on thir site somewhere.

Hi there,
I am dealing with a overseas tenant, they will move in two months later, they can offer 12 months rent upfront, do you know how to work this with Open Rent, so they should pay Open rent and Open rent will hold the fund for tow months? May I know how you work on the upfront rent with Open Rent? do you use Open rent to draft a contract?
Thanks
