Dreambig1 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hi there all weve just moved over and are finishing quarantine soon! we will be looking to rent but have no jobs or rental references as we owned in the uk. We do have a healthy savings account and could pay 6 months rent up front with evidence of up to a years savings for rent . Would this be sufficient for a landlord ?? With no rental references , would we need a guarantor? many thanks for any help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Many new arrivals manage to rent without rental references so dont worry too much. Include a covering letter with all you applications stating you are new to the country hence lack of references. All the agent wants to know is you can pay the rent, so showing a copy of a healthy bank statement will work in your favour. You can offer 6 months up front as it looks good on you but agents are not allowed to take it. Hope this helps Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
