FAQ
Why should I credit check tenants?
It is important that a tenancy agreement is backed up and protected by a full credit and history reference. Many landlords will be aware of the risks of letting to tenants who have not been credit-checked, and they will expect it as part of the letting process.
Accurate and efficient referencing reduces much of the risk that goes along with renting a property. It is a way of ensuring that the tenant is in a financial position to adhere to the terms of the contract, has not previously defaulted on rental payments, and has a reliable financial history.
How do credit agencies score tenants?
When anyone applies for a credit card, current account, personal loan, hire purchase (HP) agreement or mortgage, or any other form of credit, the lender will usually credit score the application. This helps the lender decide whether to accept your application and, where relevant, helps set your credit limit and interest rate.
Credit scores are calculated by using scoring models and mathematical tables that assign points for different pieces of information which best predict future credit performance. The system was pioneered in the 1950s by Fair Isaac & Co, and is generally known as a FICO score. Developing these models involves studying how thousands, even millions, of people have used credit. Score-model developers find predictive factors in the data that have proven to indicate future credit performance. Models can be developed from different sources of data. Credit-bureau models are developed from information in consumer credit-bureau reports.
Credit scores analyze a borrower's credit history considering numerous factors such as:
- Late payments
- The amount of time credit has been established
- The amount of credit used versus the amount of credit available
- Length of time at present residence
- Negative credit information such as bankruptcies, charge-offs, collections, etc
