Housing providers have a right to set financial and credit qualifications, a process that provides some assurance that the applicant will be a good tenant. Qualifications and inquiries must be applied equally to all applicants and must not be influenced by race, national origin, or other protected factors.
Landlords must obtain written consent from applicants before conducting any credit or background checks. Landlords must also avoid asking direct or indirect questions that may reveal a persons protected class. This confirms that the screening process is transparent and respects the applicants privacy.
Tenant referencing is the process of conducting background and credit checks on potential tenants to minimise the risk of letting your property to someone who will cause problems later on. You can carry out most of these checks yourself or ask your letting agent or a referencing company to do them for you.
