Hello,
I am in the process of selecting my tenants. I can still run a few open homes.
At this stage I have 3 moms. All single.
1) One of them is a young single mother whose father assures that she will be looked after and there will be no rent in arrears.
Can I ask father to sign a letter of guarantor and sign him the tenancy agreement as well? Even if he signs, will he be liable to liable for the payment of the rent and the performance by the tenant?
2) There is a middle aged couple with no kids. I wanted them to be my potential tenants. However, I did feel good about them from the beginning. Later, I did did credit check and contacted referees. Found some issues with them:
-Some information they put on pre-tenancy application from did not match with the information I heard from referees.
-Husband had some default payments which had to be collected by utility companies.
-Wife completed application form and wrote he is with the company 1 plus year. Yes manager, said husband has been with the company only 2 two months and the manager is not happy with his work so he is not sure whether they will keep him after trial period.
-Wife is unemployed and there is no good prospective employment for husband.
-When I emailed to wife that there some contradictory info and I need to think before taking further, she sent me several emails and text messages wanting to know what is wrong. Next morning, she sent me an email that figured out the issue. She did not know husband had changed the company!!
-Now sending me an email for reconsideration and providing CV and previous landlords names etc. So pushy!!
Any advice?
Many thanks
