This invoice is fake and has not been issued by Rent4sure Ltd. None of the details are genuine.

Rent4sure does not deal with Tenancy Transactions and we never ask tenants to send money to us.

We do not rent out properties nor do we take tenancy deposits or collect rental payments.

We are a business-to-business UK based provider of tenant referencing services and deal directly with letting agents.

We sometimes need to contact applicants on behalf of the letting agent when we do our referencing checks and require further information. This is to obtain additional information only, and it will be clear in all communication that Rent4sure requires this information on behalf of your named letting agent. We charge the letting agents for our services, not the applicant.

If you receive any communication from Rent4sure and are unsure if it is genuine, please check with your letting agent. If you are an applicant or tenant and receive an invoice purporting to be from Rent4sure Ltd, please delete this immediately and do not click on any links.

Rent4sure is an appointed representative of ITC Compliance, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
