Under a new Tenant Screening system, private landlords in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) can check the credit score of their future tenants via the Etihad Credit Bureau mechanism if the tenant has given their consent.
According to Emirates 24/7, Dubai’s state-owned media organisation, the Etihad Credit Bureau has introduced a new “Tenant Inquiry” service that allows property owners in the UAE to access the credit ratings of prospective tenants, but only with the tenant’s approval via the UAE PASS digital identity platform.
