Complete the Application Form

Begin by filling out the rental application form provided by Metro Residential. This form will ask for basic information about you, including your employment status, income, and previous rental history.

Credit Check

Once your application is submitted, we will perform a detailed credit check. This involves reviewing your financial history to identify any past issues such as bankruptcies, County Court Judgments (CCJs), or outstanding debts. Be prepared to provide necessary identification and authorisation for this check.

Employment Verification

Next, we will verify your employment status and income. This typically involves contacting your employer to confirm your job details and salary. Ensure that your employer is aware of this step and can provide the required information promptly.

Previous Landlord References

If you have rented before, we will contact your previous landlords to gain insights into your rental history. This includes your payment habits, the condition of the property during your tenancy, and your overall conduct as a tenant. Provide accurate contact information for your previous landlords to facilitate this process.

Right to Rent Checks

In compliance with UK legislation, we will conduct right to rent checks to confirm that you are legally allowed to rent property in England. This involves verifying identification documents such as passports or visas. Be prepared to provide these documents for inspection.

Finalising the Referencing Process

After completing the above checks, we will review the gathered information to make a final decision on your tenancy application. If everything is in order, you will be notified of the approval and will proceed to sign the rental agreement.

Being Reassured!

The tenant referencing process is an essential part of renting a property, ensuring that all legal requirements are met and that you are a suitable tenant.
