When we provide a guarantee to a tenant, we need someone else we can contact if something goes wrong. That’s you. You can find out what that means below.
On this page you’ll find out about being a co-signer with us, but also information on joint tenancies and how to protect yourself and the tenant
UK Guarantor
Only My Share
The guarantor service is where we act to guarantee a tenancy. If the tenant falls behind, the landlord comes to us and we pay them immediately. We then go to the tenant and help them repay the deficit over time. We help make sure their tenancy is secure and work with them to deal with problems in paying rent.
The landlord tells us that they're unable to collect the rent
We pay the landlord quickly and directly, keeping them happy
With the tenancy secure, we work with the tenant to pay the deficit over time
What happens next?
We work very hard to work with the tenant. Our service works because we support the landlord right away and take the pressure off the tenant, but we’re also insured ourselves, so we’re very flexible when it comes to helping tenants repay the deficit. As a co-signer, you really are the last resort and nearly all our co-signers are not needed when we’re supporting tenants.
It’s easy to be a co-signer, too
We'll need to verify your ID and relationship to the tenant
You'll need to agree to our terms
There are no credit checks, you just agree terms and we accept you
If I’m going to co-sign, why not just be the guarantor myself?
Whether you’re a co-signer or guarantor, you need to make sure you’re protected from housemates’ bills. Only My Share protects you for just £99 per year
