Tenant referencing
Tenant referencing without the wait
Slow referencing loses good tenants and drags out void periods. LeaseUp collects applicant documents, runs the checks and assembles an evidence-backed report, so you can make a confident decision while the applicant is still interested.
LeaseUp tenant referencing runs credit, affordability, employment and identity checks on UK rental applicants, including Right to Rent where the property is in England, and returns a single evidence-backed report, with every AI-assisted step reviewed and approved by you.
Every check in one report
Instead of chasing referencing agencies, employers and previous landlords separately, LeaseUp orchestrates the whole process and presents the result as one clear report per applicant.
- Credit history and public record checks
- Affordability assessment against the asking rent
- Employment and income verification
- Previous landlord references
- Right to Rent checks with document capture (England)
AI that assists, never decides alone
The AI flags inconsistencies, summarises the evidence and drafts the recommendation. You see exactly what was checked and why, and nothing proceeds without your approval, which matters for fair, defensible tenant selection.
Built into the rest of the tenancy
A passed reference flows straight into tenancy creation: compliant document drafting, deposit registration prompts and the first rent collection are set up from the same record, so nothing is re-keyed.
Common questions
How long does tenant referencing take with LeaseUp?
Most references complete within hours rather than days, because document collection, credit checks and reference requests run in parallel rather than one after another. Referencing that depends on third parties, such as an employer response, is chased automatically.
Does LeaseUp handle Right to Rent checks?
Yes, for properties in England, where the Right to Rent scheme applies. Document capture is part of the standard referencing flow and the evidence is stored against the tenancy record, so you can show when the check was done and what was seen. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have no Right to Rent duty, so LeaseUp runs identity verification there instead rather than asking for a check the law does not require.
Can the AI reject a tenant automatically?
No. The AI assembles evidence and drafts a recommendation, but a human always makes the final decision. Every report shows what was checked, so your selection process stays transparent and defensible.
