Key facts about rental credit checks
1 - Tenant identity
The very first step to any credit check is confirming the identity of the tenant, it is absolutely essential you confirm the tenant name and date of birth against a photo ID document, e.g. a passport of driving licence. Without carrying out this check the tenant could be giving you someone else's details to run a credit check on!
2 - Address history
The tenant will need to supply their address to enable a rental credit check to be carried out. Whilst Credit Check Services will always search for any undisclosed addresses we recommend that you request to see a copy of an official letter confirming the tenant's name and address. Examples of such documents are council tax letters, utility bill, mobile account invoice, etc.
3 - Employment / income
You need to know the tenant can afford the rental payments. Whilst it is not always clear what a person's total outgoings are it should be simple to verify their income. Ask to see a copy of their pay statement, benefits statement, and/or a copy of their bank statement to verify their income from employment or other sources.
4 - Choose a quality company for rental credit checks
Credit Check Services carries out a manual search for every tenant check. This involves verifying addresses, checking dates of birth, variations to a tenant's name, etc. If we find that data is inconsistent to allow a search to be properly carried out we refer back to the customer. We believe in quality which is why we have a quality management system certified to ISO 9001:2008.
We aim to be the best for rental credit checks!
