Real estate portal Idealista recently introduced a default-free tenant certificate. It serves as proof to landlords that a prospective renter is reliable. When searching for an apartment to rent, applicants should know landlords will request personal information. Demonstrating responsibility helps candidates stand out in a crowded market and shows the ability to pay rent consistently and stay debt-free.

What is a delinquent tenant certificate?
This document proves that there are no outstanding debts to the landlord and clarifies the level of any existing debt. It is designed to reflect income and offers the most comprehensive certification on the market, drawing data from more sources than standard reports, thereby strengthening a renter’s application.
The certificate combines information from five databases and confirms that the tenant is not listed in any of them:
- BDMI: Debt Tenants Database of the Idealist group
- RIJ: Judicial Debt Register
- Icy: Defaults reported by banks, telecoms, and other entities
- Insurance files
- Records related to terrorism and money laundering

How to request a delinquent tenant certificate?
Applicants simply submit their full name and a photo of their ID. Adding monthly income is optional; including it can reflect a higher rent affordability and help candidates stand out in a competitive field.
Within about 12 hours after uploading the documents, a complete report is generated, compiling data from all referenced databases.
