Not only do we insist that prospective tenants supply independent referees but we contact all of them. This includes speaking to employers, accountants, previous landlords or property managers as well as any personal referees. A minimum of 100 points of identification are required and we will need to sight at least two previous pay slips or, for the self-employed, bank statements. Finally, the shortlisted tenant will be checked against the National Tenancy Database which records the history of tenants who have breached their lease agreements or had a detrimental VCAT outcome.
