Move a tenant in

Get a new tenancy legally set up in England and the tenant moved in.

1. Reference the tenant and any guarantor
2. Do the right to rent check before the tenancy starts. Most people forget this: Letting to someone without a valid right to rent check can bring a civil penalty for the landlord or agent.
3. Give the tenant the gas safety record, EPC and How to Rent guide
4. Get the tenancy agreement signed (Landlord signs off)
5. Take the first rent and deposit

7. Do the inventory and check-in
8. Read the meters and notify utilities and council
9. Hand over keys
