We then conduct a reference check with the assistance of a third-party company; this allows us to ensure that the tenant’s earnings are enough to cover the rental costs, preventing any unpleasant surprises in the future. It is a thorough and targeted investigation that uncovers previous issues, such as unpaid utility bills, which could raise questions about the security of rental income.
