Fiance not on TA

Me and my fiance are looking to rent somewhere where bigger to where iam living now and wanting to move in together too.
I spoke to my letting agent today and told them that he would be moving in to the house iam renting on the 9th june, they told me that he would need to fill an application form in and be credit checked, i asked them what would happen if his credit wasn't very good, they said it would be up to the landlord. Also we are going to look at propertys through this letting agents tomorrow and they have adviced me that if we see one that we like to put applications forms in but if we don't and we decide to stay in the house iam currently living in then my fiance will need to fill an application in for this house.
My query is it going to be hard to rent somewhere else with the fact that my fiance has debts, i have posted on the debt free wannabe board about this. He has defaults on his file and two ccjs and i went br last year and am discharged now.
Also if we decide to stay in the house we are in now, can the landlord turn round and say that he doesn't want my fiance living here and if he does what can we do then. I don't want to end up homeless and nor does my partner, he will have no where else to live, as he is having to do a voluntary respossion on his house.

Your existing tenancy gives you (the tenant) the right to grant permission for your partner to stay (the legal term is license). And I'm sure this is a right that can't be unreasonably restricted -- though many unscrupulous agents/landlords will claim otherwise.
^ Shelter or Citizens advice should be able to confirm this.
In the long term you probably do want a new joint tenancy, but in the short term you could save yourself a lot of fees by just co-habiting under your existing tenancy.0 -

Thankyou very much for your help, thats good news. We have looked at properties today and applied for one, so finger crossed we get it. The agents seem pretty decent so hopefully there will be no problems. They have been very helpful today with our applications.Married 09/09/090
