Tenant and Credit Checks
Tenant checks
The NRLA have secured cheaper rates on tenant referencing and credit check services!
Minimise the risk of rent arrears and other problems by carrying out a tenant check on your tenants. Tenant background checks will help shed light on your tenant's renting history, financial backgrounds, and inform you of any criminal convictions your tenant might have. It's best to practice vigilance as a property owner and find out who you are letting your property to before handing over the keys.
The NRLA offers members a choice of a basic tenant credit check or full detailed tenant reference.
