There is no requirement for a Tenant Reference as long as both of the below have been met:
  1. The Tenancy Agreement has been in place for more than 12 months at the start of the Period of Insurance
  2. There has been no history of arrears, which would include payments made 1 or more calendar days later than the rent due date as set out in the Tenancy Agreement.
The Tenant Reference requires:
  1. A credit check against the Tenant and any Guarantor obtained from a licensed credit referencing company showing no County Court Judgments in the past three years and no outstanding County Court Judgments; and
  2. Written references from a previous managing agent or landlord; and
