QUESTION:
We are considering renting our property to a foreign national with a four year work permit. She works for a temping agency in the care field. She can provide references from her job, bank and past landlord, but we have been informed as she only works for a temping agency she may not pass the credit checks and then we cannot get the rental insurance. What would you advise?
ANSWER:
Sorry, I know it is hard, but I would be very reluctant to let to someone who temps and therefore has no job security and for whom you would have no insurance cover. I’d say no, unless she could provide the first 2 months rent in advance. It may be worth asking whether anyone would be prepared to stand as a Guarantor for her. Set a sum which you feel it is reasonable to have covered by a Guarantor. A Guarantor form is available from the NWLA website.
