Potential Spanish tenant difficult to reference?
I recently showed my vacant property to a family consisting of an English father and Spanish mother with 2 children. After a series of strokes, the father is now on disability benefit and his wife is his carer.
They want to rent the house. The Spanish lady said she had not been in the country long and has been told she “does not exist” on the systems of banks and so would not show up on a credit search.
However, she had been a legal assistant in Spain and also, previously been a pharmaceutical assistant in this country.
Any advice on how to do any due diligence in this case. They seem a nice couple with polite children. (10 and 17)
Many thanks
Martin

Not tenants, we are owners, landlords, leaseholders and freehold shareholders of one Limited company.
