    What do you need to rent a house?

    To rent a house you'll need to provide character references from your current landlord and employer. You'll also need to prove your income by providing payslips and bank statements.

    The letting agent will run a credit check on you to understand if you can afford to pay the rent and if you're likely to pay it on time.
