Dear all who know more than I...
My daughter has just moved into a flat, contract signed, rent paid, deposit paid
The credit agency have just called looking for accounts\ tax returns as she's self employed.
As the contract is already signed does she need to provided such sensitive data?
As a written contract now exists is it even relevant or does the agency have power to amend it?
The process was very very quick and I assume the agency is playing catch up but what if they then decide in their unique wisdom, that she needs a guarantor?
Can the contract be changed?
Thanks for any and all help.

Not unless she agrees to change it.

No. The contract now exists.
Indeed as she's moved in a tenancy also exists (and cannot be ended within the 1st 6 months by the LL except in special circumstances eg rent arrears), so the credit checks are now irrelevant.
If I were the LL I would be seriously **** off with my leting agent!0
