Hi.
Me and my Boyfriend are to be renting together for the first time....we've seen the property we want and are getting ready do our references.
I have a few questions regarding them...
1: My credit isnt great...will i get declined!? Even though we will be paying rent from my boyfriends account whos credit is excellent?
2: I had 2 addresses as i work at Heathrow airport so i rented in a house near there as i didnt want to commute everyday but have now moved back home with my parents...but never registered on the Electral Roll...i was still registered on my parents address which i classed as my home address but i did get my bank statements etc changed to my temp address which shows on my credit report....will this cause a problem or do you think i should just leave it out and say i've lived at my mums?
Im getting really worried about these references etc now...when i rented my house with my collegue i passed my references fine as my credit wasnt bad but since then its got bad....but i have NEVER missed a rent payment or phone bill etc so will this go for or againist me?!
I'd really appricate any help
Thanks!
