  • What options are open to me if my application to obtain consent to lease is rejected by RBS- First Active?

  • A friend of mine has rented her house from the same landlord for almost 18 months. Over the course of the last six months my friend has received letters from RBS- First Active (she hasn't opened them-it is clear from the envelope). To begin with she forwarded them to her landlady's address. I was a bit suspicious as none of the landlord’s post was supposed to be going there. I decided to go to my friends house and phoned RBS- First Active on her behalf. The gentleman I called at RBS- First Active asked all sorts of questions, the landlady's name her current address, information relating to the tenant and then said they were going to investigate whether she had the appropriate mortgage and if she didn't it was an offence without consent to let. Can you shed anymore light on this?
