Bankruptcy during an assured shorthold tenancy agreement

  • My take on it was, if the OR doesn't need to let the LL or the agent know, then we won't either. People on here may disagree with me and say fess up. At least by having a tenant in the property the LL gets a regular income and I know the place we are in had been empty for a while, so we kept quiet and have paid up without a problem every month. Why upset the apple cart?

    If there's nothing in your tenancy agreement about BR then I would keep quiet. As I said above, they are unlikely to undertake another credit check as you have proved payment reliability and already have a guarantor. If you were moving to a new property then you would be credit checked and it's then worth talking to the agents about BR before going ahead and paying them for the checks.
