Building Rental History & References

Paying rent late can damage your relationship with your landlord and risk eviction. A good payment history makes future renting easier.

What to do: Check your rental agreement for the rent due date and how to pay. Set up a standing order or direct payment from your bank so rent goes out automatically on time each month.

What do you need: You need your landlord’s bank details, the exact amount of rent and the payment date.

Outcomes: You will build a positive rental history and avoid late fees, warnings or legal action.

Lifehack: Plan your budget so rent is one of the first payments you make after receiving income.
