Mortitia Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Look around on landlord sites - they all offer agreements and forms - sometimes you just have to dot he legwork yourself. Use a firm to credit check your proposed tenant and once you get the results double check by phoning the employer. If it is recommended that the tenant has a guarantor then make sure that is drawn up as a deed and make sure they are a property owner. You have loads to learn - way more than can be typed here - read more on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grampa Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 You maybe better off using a tenant find service from a agent for your first tenant or full management to give you a understanding of the process. It isn't a quick process learning to be a landlord and very easy to get wrong. Experienced landlords and agents on this site are still learning and have done it for many years. You may want to join the Guild of residential landlords it will have all the info, doc, contracts, notices etc you will ever need and someone is at the end of a phone to help you out with any question/issues. The cost to join for a landlord is very reasonable for what you get. https://www.landlordsguild.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortitia Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I only get a guarantor if the person is under 21 or there are issues in his/her referencing. Occasionally referencing companies will recommend you get a G for a particular person - the one time I did not do this they defaulted on rent 2 years into the tenancy and it took me 8 months to get him out. Always use a guarantor who is a homeowner not as ARLA recommend just someone who earns over £30,000 pa - reason being that if they don't pay up you can trace them very easily and put a charge on their house/chattels if they still don't pay.
