What details do I have to give to set up rent collection?

Enough for Stripe to verify you: name, date of birth, address, phone and email as an individual, or company details plus every director and 25%-plus owner.

Stripe has to verify whoever is receiving money, and asks for it directly — its onboarding runs inside the Tenarize payments page, but the answers go to Stripe. What it takes depends on how you let:

  • As an individual — your name, date of birth, home address, phone number and email, plus the bank account for payouts.
  • As a company — the company's registered details including its Companies House number, plus a representative and every director, every owner of 25% or more, and every senior executive as named people with their own dates of birth and addresses.

Stripe may also ask for a document — a passport or driving licence — where it can't verify someone from those details alone. Anything still outstanding is shown in the same place, so you can see exactly what's blocking you.

Stripe also asks a few questions about the letting itself rather than about you. Tenarize answers most of those before you get there — the business category, a description of what you do, and the support email and phone number from your account — which leaves the business website. That one is yours to answer, and there's an answer for not having one.

Worth knowing: You accept Stripe's Connected Account Agreement yourself as part of this, rather than Tenarize accepting it for you.

Not legal advice

These answers describe how Tenarize works and summarise the law in England as the product implements it. They are not legal advice about your situation, and the law changes. For free independent help, Citizens Advice and Shelter both cover renting in England; for anything unusual or contested, take advice from a solicitor.

Tenarize does not currently support Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, whose tenancy regimes are different.
