You definitely need to ask about age. It’s illegal to rent to under 18s for instance.
Its not illegal to rent to under 18s. You can given them an AST, you just cant hold them to the contract.
For our next letting, which will probably be in the new year, my business partner and I have decided to try a slightly different approach.
We will have viewings across a weekend, and let pretty much anyone who’s interested come to view. We will then do the screening only with people who are interested.
I have tried doing pre-viewing screening in the past, but to be honest it was more trouble than it was worth, and a lot of people were creative with the truth anyway.
