What Information is Needed When Getting a Landlord's Reference?

When Legalforlandlords are getting a landlord's reference, the team needs to have the correct contact information for the landlord. This includes the landlord's name, email, and phone number. Additionally, other information is required, such as the previous rent amount and the rental payment date.

Name

The most important information Legalforlandlords needs is the landlord’s name. This can be found on their tenancy agreement for their previous Let.

Email

It's helpful to have an email address associated with the landlord. That way, if there are any questions or updates in the process, it's easier to contact the landlord quickly.

Phone Number

In addition to an email address, it's helpful to have a phone number associated with the landlord. This helps ensure that communication between Legalforlandlords and the landlord is quick and effective.

Previous Rent Amount

Legalforlandlords needs to know how much rent the current tenant has been paying. This should be found in the legal documentation, such as the lease agreement

Rental Payment Date

Legalforlandlords need to know when rental payments are due on the property. This information is also found in the lease agreement.

Proof of rental payments

If Legalforlandlords are unable to get a landlord reference from the previous landlord, the team will ask the applicant for 4 months bank statements to prove that the rent has been paid on time for the previous 4 months.
