Check prospective tenants’ creditworthiness fairly
Landlords check the creditworthiness of prospective tenants
Fits: Sales · Finance & accounting · Office, administration & casework
You check prospective tenants according to fixed, traceable rules, faster than with piles of paper. You ask only for what is necessary for the tenancy, and a human decides every rejection.
Is this for you?
- You let property professionally, for example as a property management company or housing company, and have many applicants per flat.
- You use or are planning a letting platform or a screening service that assesses creditworthiness automatically.
- You are prepared to limit your questions to what is necessary and to have a human decide every rejection.
Without data from applicants: take your questionnaire for the tenant self-disclosure and use the template below to check which question is necessary at which stage and which ones unintentionally disadvantage people. Delete what is not needed.
How to go about it
- Disclose the purpose and screening rules
- Assess the legal position before you start
- Check the information for gaps and bias
- The screening service suggests, the landlord decides
- Inform prospective tenants
- Check the selection regularly for fairness
