Hi all My husband has a property he rents out and I tend to all the administration for this (woo hoo for me...!) anyways the current tenant is moving out soon and we're in the process of listing again on Openrenter. The previous tenant didn't pass the credit search however we did rent to her as she had a private guarantor…

I suppose if a prospective tenant could prove that they could pay the rent, then the LL would never know whether they were on benefits.

And they wouldn`t know if the tenant later went on benefits after being employed?
