Traditional tenant referencing wasn’t built for today’s fraud risks, tighter compliance rules, or rising landlord expectations. As AI-generated documents become harder to detect and legislation evolves, manual and document-based checks create unnecessary delay and risk.
This guide shows how Goodlord’s award-winning PRO Referencing delivers a 24-hour average turnaround, direct-to-source fraud protection, and full compliance in one secure reference, helping your agency move faster and stay ahead.
