Working checklist
Build the consent record control
Reconfirm the scope whenever recipient or purpose changes.
Treat every consent record detail as a separate decision and retain the supporting context beside it.
A consent note should identify the exact data fields, the named recipient and the date permission was confirmed.
- Person: name the individual granting consent; another household member cannot grant it on their behalf.
- Information: list the specific personal detail covered by the consent rather than using a blanket description.
- Purpose: write the exact disclosure reason beside the consent instead of relying on blanket permission.
- Recipient: record the agent, landlord or portal covered by the consent; permission for one recipient is not permission for all.
- Consent date: record when permission was given for this property-specific disclosure.

- Fill your application before you choose whether to pay for a PDF export.
- RentFiles helps organise the file; the agent or landlord decides the application outcome.
Useful context
Record consent for a property-specific disclosure
Consent has to identify the person, information, recipient and purpose; an old approval should not silently travel to a new property.
The decision here concerns the consent record decision while completing the active portal field.
Practical example
A practical consent record example
A referee agreed to be contacted for one application. When a second property asks for details, the renter checks again rather than treating the first message as standing permission.
