We have a prospective tenant who is starting a new business so has no income and no employer ref.  He has said he will pay 6 monthes rent in advance.  He is relocating to our area after selling his house.  We are new to this and do not know what checks we need to do in this situation.  what do you advise?

Riptide

Is he going to become a horticulturist?

How many Vowels in his surname, that's a tell tale sign, more than 3 and avoid.

Haha Riptide...that was my first thought...very dodgy to pay six months upfront....

I have a clause in my initial 6 month AST that requests a monthly inspection each month for the full six months of the AST to ensure teething problems are rectified and that both tenant and I are happy with the let.
