New Renter - Poor Credit but Funds to pre pay 6 months
Hi all,
Just looking for advise, from renters and landlords on the following.
My credit score is tanked thanks to leaving a financial controlling relationship. I do have the funds to pay for 6 month in advance along with the required deposit. I want to provide the landlord with security I will pay rent on time, every time. is this the best way? I know the RRB doesn't alow them to request an additional payment but it doesn't stop me offering advanced rental payments once the documents are signed (if i understand this correctly).
As the house is via an agent, would you be honest and up-front with this information - offer 2 months in advance or the 6? What is your experience?
I work full time and can provide wage slips and a reference. I have no rental history as i lived in an owned property for 20 years with my ex partner (her mortgage).
Thanks
