Right to Rent checks and references
Record Right to Rent checks with follow-up reminders, and collect references online.
Right to Rent
Before a tenancy starts, check that every adult who’ll live there has the right to rent in England. On the tenant’s page, choose Record a check, then record how you checked (share code, documents or an identity service), the date and the result. For a time-limited right to rent, Keymews works out when you must check again and reminds you. Copies of documents are deleted automatically once you no longer need to keep them.
References
On the tenant’s page, choose Ask for a reference and enter the referee’s details: an employer, a previous landlord or a character referee. They get a link to a short form, and their answers appear on the tenant’s page. Or choose Add a report to keep a referencing company’s report with the tenant.
Both are on Basic and above. Keymews doesn’t run credit checks.
