Rental Exchange by Experian

For the purposes of assessing your tenancy application and the ongoing management of your tenancy with us, we will share your data with Experian and undertake checks with them. These checks include: assessing the suitability of your application, managing your tenancy, verifying your identity and undertaking checks to prevent and detect crime, fraud or anti money laundering.

We will give details of how you manage your tenancy to Experian and if your do not pay your rent on time we will inform Experian of this. If you fail to make any payments due under this agreement, we will use your data and that from a credit reference agency to trace your whereabouts and recover payment.

Rentlord is a member of Experian’s Rental Exchange scheme. The Rental Exchange is a way to strengthen your credit report without you needing to take on new credit. The scheme enables us to share details about the rent you pay with Experian on a monthly basis. This is then included in your credit report, meaning you will then be recognised for paying your rent on time.

Not only will we be able to work with you more closely to manage your existing tenancy agreement, your track record as a tenant will enable Experian to use the information supplied to them in the future to assist other landlords and organisations to:

●  Assess and manage any new tenancy agreements you may enter into;

●  Assess your financial standing to provide you with suitable products and services;

●  Manage any accounts that you may already hold, for example reviewing suitable products or adjusting your current product in light of your current circumstances;

●  Contact you in relation to any accounts you may have and recovering debts that you may owe;

●  Verify your identity and address to help them make decisions about services they offer; and

●  Help prevent crime, fraud and money laundering.

We, and Experian, will ensure that your information is treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act so you can have peace of mind that it will be kept secure and confidential and your information will not be used for marketing purposes.
