LetLogic vs formal tenant referencing
Referencing verifies an applicant in depth; LetLogic gives you an instant, explainable read so you know who's worth referencing. They work best together — here's how they compare.

A sensible workflow
- 1. Screen. Paste each application into LetLogic and compare the explainable risk reads.
- 2. Shortlist. Progress the applicants whose affordability and stability stack up.
- 3. Reference & verify. Run formal referencing and a Right to Rent check before granting the tenancy.
Frequently asked questions
Does LetLogic replace tenant referencing?
No. LetLogic complements referencing — it's a fast first pass that helps you triage applicants and decide what to verify. Formal referencing independently verifies employment, income, and landlord references before you sign.
Why use screening before referencing?
Referencing takes time and money and usually involves the applicant. Screening gives you an instant, explainable read on affordability and stability so you only progress the applicants worth referencing.
Is screening enough on its own?
For an early decision it can be, but for higher-value or higher-risk tenancies most landlords still complete formal referencing and a Right to Rent check before granting a tenancy.
