![]() Some people would class that as intrusive I use social media ( as advised by a well respected solicitor) too. You can find a lot out about the person you are renting to because of the internet. I didn’t need to pay for a reference check. When he gave me his name I googled him to find out he had a compulsory dissolution from Companies House 12 months earlier. He could not provide references because they were in Cypriot etc etc. The last time I asked for a tenants statements he alleged he was paid cash abroad ( had been out of the country for 12 months) and so did not have any statements to provide. Why not do everything you can to protect your investment? You are giving your investment to someone in trust. Landlords are not honest all the time regarding referencing as they want to get rid of troublesome tenants. Why would I put myself at risk when I don’t have too? I have had tenants with gambling issues and when you don’t get rent and have to pay to get a tenant out it all adds up. In the words of Evelyn Hall – “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
