The simple version
What is tenant referencing?
A tenant reference check in the UK is the process of checking whether a prospective tenant is suitable for a property. It brings together identity, legal compliance, affordability, income and rental history evidence so a landlord or letting agent can make a better-informed decision.
Tenant reference check companies typically collect this evidence, contact employers and previous landlords, and record missing information. For landlords comparing reference checks for tenants, myChecksAI does that administrative work after you place the order: we invite the applicant, collect the information, follow up where details are missing and bring the available results together in one report.
What checks are included?
The core reference is designed to give you the evidence needed for a practical letting decision. See the full tenant reference checks.
Identity and Right to Rent
Identity evidence and Right to Rent information are collected through secure applicant steps.
AML and financial screening
AML, PEPs, sanctions and insolvency screening are recorded with the applicant report.
Income and affordability
Employment details are checked, and Open Banking income verification is included when the applicant authorises the read-only connection.
Rental history
A previous landlord or managing agent can confirm rental history, payment conduct and property care. See the landlord reference check.

Questions landlords and agents ask about tenant reference checks
How much does a tenant reference check cost?
One complete tenant reference costs £29 including VAT. There is no subscription and the tenant does not pay a fee.
Do I need a dashboard?
No. One-off buyers can order without an account. We send the final report by email, while account holders can use the report inbox and operational dashboard when needed.
What if an applicant or referee does not respond?
We follow up for missing information. Non-responses are recorded clearly in the final report so you can see what was and was not confirmed.
Is Open Banking included?
Yes. Open Banking income verification is included in the reference when the applicant authorises the secure read-only connection.
