We ask that students submit a Tenancy Reference Request form. Upon submitting this form, your request will be sent to accommodationonline@reading.ac.uk where the Accommodation Office will process your request by checking your student details and financial status.
The completed reference will be sent to your University e-mail address if you are still a current student and it is your responsibility to pass this to your Landlord or Letting Agent. Tenancy references are completed once per week so please allow a weeks’ turnaround time. Due to the checks that must be completed in order to provide a reference, we are unable to accommodate last-minute requests.
Please Note: the University of Reading reserve the right not to provide a reference.
Your tenancy check and reference will provide the following information:
Your name
Your tenancy address which you have requested a reference for
The length of your tenancy
The dates of tenancy
The weekly rent;
and will answer the following questions:
• Did the student incur damages charges of £100 or above?
• Does the student have any accommodation related debt over the deposit amount of £250?
It is the tenant’s responsibility to check the details provided in the reference before passing the information over to a third party. If you have any queries relating to the information provided, please contact the Accommodation Office on accommodationonline@reading.ac.uk
