Real estate platform Idealista recently launched a service designed to help tenants present a stronger rental application. When seeking a rental, landlords often request information about a prospective tenant. With high demand for rentals, a solid showing of reliability can tip the scales in favor of the applicant. Demonstrating the ability to pay monthly rent and showing a clean financial slate can make a big difference.
Rent consumes a meaningful portion of income in many markets
What is a non-delayed tenant certificate
A non-delayed tenant certificate is a document that confirms a tenant has no outstanding debts to the landlord and outlines the rent range they can responsibly assume based on income. It stands out as a comprehensive certification in the market, drawing on multiple data sources to provide a clear, trustworthy profile for landlords and property managers.
This certificate compiles information from several databases and confirms to the host that the applicant does not appear in any negative records that would jeopardize a rental agreement:
- BDMI: The idealista group’s wealth of tenant records
- RIJ: Registration of Judicial Debts
- Icired: declared defaults with banks, telecoms, and other entities
- Insurance files
- Terrorism and money laundering screening
Financial considerations for renters in 2022-2023
How to request a non-delayed tenant certificate
To claim the certificate, a simple photo of the applicant’s name and identity document suffices. Including monthly income information is optional, but it helps indicate the rent level the applicant can comfortably cover, which can help them stand out among other candidates.
After submitting the documents, a complete report is generated within about 12 hours, detailing the information drawn from the consulted databases. This rapid turnaround makes it easier for applicants to proceed with rental applications in a timely manner.
Rent rules: Keeping increases fair and transparent
You can print, send, or display the report from any device to landlords or real estate agents involved in the rental process. The goal is to provide clear evidence of financial responsibility and rental readiness, so landlords can assess risk and move discussions forward.
By presenting a clean, up-to-date tenant report, applicants can significantly strengthen their market position. The document acts as a credible, verifiable letter of intent that signals serious interest in the property and a willingness to meet financial obligations.
