Yep - our team would be more than happy to. My suggestion would be to put it live, and then if you get to 20 enquiries in a short space of time, to pause your advert and reach out to us.
I provided an update on that in a previous thread here 6 days ago
We conduct more references than any agency in the UK, so I’m not sure where this notion comes from. Our messaging doesn’t suggest tenants don’t need to pass references unless landlords explicitly state otherwise. I think if you knew someone in a high street letting agency, they’d tell you they also have a volume of enquiry issue - they simply turn their phone lines off / have fewer enquiries by nature of their processes. Sadly this equally applies to the best tenants vs. ones who don’t meet any criteria. However, agents will be sure to make any filtering criteria extremely clear to tenants because they know of the time wasted otherwise.
On OpenRent the landlord controls the specific advert contents, and so we do rely on landlords being up front with their criteria to have a good experience. Whilst we collect some criteria, we don’t know about all landlord criteria and custom requirements need to be placed on the advert.
This entire issue hopefully makes it clear why landlords should be incentivised to do so. On this specific point, if you believe tenants are applying to your advert because they don’t think they’ll need to be referenced - then I’d put at the start of your advert: “Reference and affordability checks required”.
