How are reference checks done in the UK for housing?

Updated: 11/1/2022

I'm from the Netherlands and I'm going to move to London soon for 5 months to do an internship. I have found a room but the landlord needs to do a reference check, but I'm m a bit worried about this. My financial situation isn't very good, but I will be getting enough money to rent the room and to pay bills and groceries and all that stuff. Also, I don't have any previous landlords that I can ask for a recommendation because I still live with my parents, I'm only 21. I haven't signed a contract yet for my internships so I don't have proof of work until I actually get to London.

You'II be asked to give references to show you can afford the property, and will be a good tenant. You'll usually have to give a reference from: your current landlord and previous landlords if you're renting from a letting agent.
