Our Tenants

At Canary Homes, we are committed to finding the very best of tenants to occupy your property. Applicants must meet stringent financial criteria and their ability to meet the rental commitment is assessed on our behalf by an independent specialist company. Suitability is assessed on the basis of:

An exhaustive credit search of every applicants credit file
Employment reference (s)
Previous landlord references (s)
Proof of public record/ electoral roll for proof of address over previous 5 years

There are occasions – i.e. recent job changes, returning from working abroad – when we will request the tenant provides a guarantor before proceeding. The guarantor will undergo the same rigorous checks applied to the tenant and will legally become party to the tenancy.
