Nicola Caulfield asked 3 years ago I'm a newbie to DIY rental!! Ive got a couple who want to rent my place and have given them a form to complete so I can get credit checks/references done. They are husband and wife. The husband has completed the form just for himself (hes paying the rent). Do I need to get the wife credit checked/referenced as well or not? Any advice would be appreciated! Many thanks
Sarah Featherstone answered 3 years ago Ideally, you should get both tenants checked, especially if both are going to be named on the tenancy. In some instances, the relationship breaks down and the boyfriend/husband walks away from the tenancy with the wife looking after the children. Also if you want to be considered for rent guarantee insurance you ought to get both checked.
