Managing Joint Applications vs Individual Applications

Tenantviews supports two types of referencing applications, each with different workflows and requirements. Understanding when to use each type ensures smooth processing and proper risk management.

Individual Applications

Individual applications are for single tenants applying for a property.

When to Use Individual Applications

• Single tenant applying alone

Joint Applications

Joint applications are for multiple tenants applying together for the same property.

When to Use Joint Applications

• Multiple tenants sharing a property
• Couples or groups applying together
• Shared financial responsibility

Best Practices

Choosing Application Type

• Individual: Use when tenants are applying separately or have independent financial situations
• Joint: Use when tenants are applying as a group with shared financial responsibility

Managing Joint Applications

• Ensure lead tenant understands their role
• Verify all tenants are included in the application
• Monitor progress for all tenants in the group
• Communicate with lead tenant for group updates

Requesting Guarantors

• Individual: Request guarantor for specific tenant if they fail affordability
• Joint: Same as individual
