Hi all, I'm just wondering what is the best thing to do in a situation when you are a good tenant but can't get a good reference due to previous landlord making false accusations?
Many thanks

Get references from other previous landlords?

When I first moved into rented and then had to move out sharpish because of dodgy landlord's failure to pay the mortgage, said dodgy landlord refused a reference. I explained all to the letting agent for the next rental and the need for a reference was waived.
Of course it helped that I'm an older lady and thus stereotyped as reliable and honest.0 -
A Landlord does not have to give any reference. Any more than a tenant has to provide a reference stating what Landlord is like (shame that's not a requirement#0
