Last year, I rented my Dads retirement place out, they paid my Dads account a year up front in fiat.
I produced an online tenancy agreement, I didn't give a shit who they are, still don't 😂
I have a tenant in Ventnor, I know who he is because he lives below my apartment there. I go to the pub with him when I'm there. I've never seen his passport or anything else.
Exactly! That's how it should be but, unless you do the work yourself, a letting agent has hoops to jump through. Apparently. I was born and bred here, I was fuming
Almost everybody is trust worthy almost 100% of the time.
Living your life on that basis and potentially getting scammed a couple of times in your life gives a far better than living your life assuming everybody is a crook and looking to scam you.
