Why Rentscore?

Rent or Let with Data. Not Instinct.

Every tenancy tells a different story. Rentscore combines tenant referencing with structured rental-history assessment, helping tenants demonstrate their track record and helping landlords and letting agents make better-informed decisions.

Our structured assessment framework considers available information across 11 categories of tenancy behaviour and produces a numerical Rentscore from 0 to 1,000 when a report is generated and unlocked.

Whether you rent alone or with others, your rental history deserves the opportunity to be recognised. For landlords and letting agents, structured rental-history information offers another perspective when assessing prospective tenants.

Your track record deserves to be recognised. Your letting decisions deserve better information.

Free account registration and tenant profile creation. Access to the numerical Rentscore, assessment summary, full report and recommendations require an unlocked report or an eligible free report credit.

Why Choose Rentscore?

1

A Fuller Picture of Every Tenancy

Traditional tenant referencing can include identity, affordability, credit checks and previous-landlord references. Rentscore brings tenant referencing together with a structured assessment of available rental-history information, considering areas such as rent-payment history, property care, communication and tenancy conduct.

Our 11-category assessment framework organises relevant information into a Rentscore from 0 to 1,000 when a report is generated and unlocked. This gives landlords and letting agents an additional perspective on a prospective tenant's rental history, while helping tenants demonstrate aspects of their track record that may not be apparent from a financial assessment alone.

2

A Rental Reputation That Moves With You

Your rental history should not have to start from scratch every time you move.

Rentscore is designed to help tenants build a portable rental reputation using available rental-history information. Tenants can use their unlocked report to help demonstrate their track record to prospective landlords when applying for their next home.

Whether you rent alone or join friends, family or other housemates to rent a larger property, your individual rental history can help demonstrate your strengths.

For landlords and letting agents, existing Rentscore records can provide another source of information where available. If relevant information is missing, a referencing or evaluation request can help obtain additional information from a previous landlord, where supported by the platform.

3

Structured, Transparent and Fairer by Design

Rental decisions deserve relevant evidence and responsible assessment.

Rentscore uses a structured 11-category framework to organise available rental-history information and make the areas being assessed clearer to users.

We recognise that rental records can vary in completeness and reliability. Information should be considered in context, and a Rentscore should not be treated as a guarantee of future behaviour or a substitute for individual consideration.

Where tenants have access to Rentscore's applicable correction or dispute process, they can raise concerns about information they believe to be inaccurate. Our aim is to support more transparent assessment while giving tenants a fair opportunity to demonstrate their rental history.

Navigate Change. Make Better-Informed Decisions.

The rental landscape is changing. Your decisions matter more than ever.

Across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, landlords and letting agents must navigate evolving legal requirements and responsibilities. They need relevant information to support their letting decisions while ensuring that their processes reflect the rules applicable in their area.

Rentscore provides structured insights into available rental-history information and previous tenancy conduct, helping landlords and letting agents consider an additional source of evidence alongside appropriate referencing, affordability checks and other due diligence.

Rentscore does not replace legal advice, guarantee regulatory compliance or eliminate the risks associated with letting property. It is designed to support better-informed decisions by helping bring relevant rental-history information into focus.

Better information. Greater clarity. More informed decisions.

More Than a Score. A Better-Informed Rental Experience.

For Landlords

Make Better-Informed Decisions

Your property matters. Understanding a prospective tenant's rental history matters too.

Choosing a tenant involves more than a single reference or financial snapshot. Landlords and letting agents need relevant information to help them assess prospective tenants and make informed letting decisions.

Rentscore combines tenant referencing with a structured assessment of available rental-history information, considering areas such as rent-payment history, property care, communication and tenancy conduct.

Where an existing Rentscore record is available, you can use the relevant report as an additional source of information. Where further information is needed, you can initiate a referencing or evaluation request to obtain additional rental-history information from a previous landlord, where supported by the platform.

Whether you are considering an individual applicant or several people applying to rent a property together, Rentscore can help you consider the available rental histories of the prospective tenants individually, alongside appropriate affordability checks, references and other due diligence.

Make rental-history information part of a more informed assessment.

For Tenants

Your Good History Deserves to Be Recognised

Your rental history is part of your story. Give it the opportunity to count.

Paying rent responsibly, respecting your home and honouring your tenancy commitments should count for something.

Rentscore helps you build a portable rental reputation using available rental-history information, giving you a way to demonstrate your track record to prospective landlords when looking for your next home.

Whether you are applying for a property on your own or teaming up with friends, family or other housemates to rent a larger home, your individual rental history can help demonstrate your strengths.

Each person's rental history is considered individually. Renting together does not automatically create a combined Rentscore, and each person's assessment depends on the information available about their own rental history.

Build your profile, request evaluations from previous landlords where supported, and use your available report to help demonstrate your rental history when it matters most.

Your rental history deserves to be recognised. Make it count.

Account registration and profile creation are free. Access to your numerical Rentscore and full report requires an unlocked report or an eligible free report credit.

Rental History That Can Move Forward With You.

A Rental Record That Can Develop Over Time

Your rental history grows through experience. As additional relevant information becomes available and is assessed, your Rentscore profile can provide a more complete picture of your rental history over time. The information available may vary between tenants.

2

Structured Information to Support Better Decisions

Rentscore organises available rental-history information through its 11-category assessment framework, producing a numerical score from 0 to 1,000 when a report is generated and unlocked. The score and supporting report provide an additional source of information to consider alongside appropriate referencing, affordability checks and other due diligence.

3

A Portable Profile for Your Next Move

Your rental history should be easier to demonstrate when you move home. Tenants can use their available Rentscore report to share relevant rental-history information with prospective landlords, helping demonstrate their track record when applying for their next property.

4

Transparency, Privacy and Accountability

Rental-history information should be handled responsibly and assessed in context. Rentscore aims to make its assessment approach clear, explain how personal information is handled through its Privacy Policy, and provide an appropriate route for tenants to raise concerns about information they believe to be inaccurate.

Your rental history matters. Rentscore helps you make it count.
