Intelligent tenant referencing
Tenant referencing gives you peace of mind that you’ve found the right tenant and met your Right to Rent obligations. At The Lettings Hub, we reference 1,000 tenants a day, backed by 12+ years of experience, so you’re in safe hands. Every reference also includes our fraud protection guarantee.
Our Fraud Protection Guarantee
We are so confident in our technology that we will cover any Home Office Fine you receive and will cover the cost to evict any fraudulent tenant that we approve.
Tenant Verification | What We Check
Are Your Tenants Who They Say They Are?
A fraudulent tenant is a major concern for landlords, and with UK and Irish fake ID documents tripling in the last two years it’s vital that you can detect a fake ID document from a genuine one.
That is why we use the latest facial biometric and liveness detection technology from government certified provider Mitek, alongside extensive database checks to verify a tenant’s identity and address.
Can They Afford The Rent?
We obtain verified references from an applicant’s employer or accountant, checking for any expected changes to their income.
Where the tenant has consented, we also securely analyse data from their bank account (using Open Banking) to provide additional verification of their income that cannot be forged.
Have They Been a Good Tenant In The Past?
We contact the tenant’s previous landlord or letting agent to check they paid their rent on time and if there were any problems during the tenancy. We also use the banking data again to check for any previous delays or gaps in rent payments over the last 12 months.
Can You Legally Rent The Property to Them?
If your property is in England, you are legally required to carry out Right to Rent checks before agreeing to the tenancy. We’ll verify the Right to Rent for all UK/Irish applicants and those with a government share code for you. We’ll also flag if the tenant poses a Money Laundering risk which would prevent you from proceeding that tenant.
