Me and my wife have been renting for the last couple of years we have lived in three dif properties and every time have had to go through credit checks we have also been knocked back on a couple of properties through certain agents even though we both earn a good wage and have worked at the same companies for the last 10 years, we had to give our employer details witch the agents did check and they checked our monthly income we then went through credit checks we needed refrences the lot took ages to sort lol so to be honest m8 from our experience its not that easy you will get checked just like your aplying for a loan and if they find something they will knock you back
