What is a Guarantor for Rent?
When renting in the UK, you are often asked to provide a rent guarantor. Put simply, this is a person who is prepared to be
When it comes to protecting renters, we’re the UK’s number one brand. We step in so you don’t have to – we also work with your child to solve problems rather than going straight to the ‘Bank of Mum and Dad’
Our products help support your child when they’re struggling or make mistakes, then work with them to find a solution.
We also support you! Paying rent upfront can be expensive, and joint shared house contracts a huge liability
You might choose to do this yourself but if you’re looking for alternatives let us help you review the options
we have four core products:
UK Guarantor
Only My Share
House Finder
Depositless
Lifeboat
We’ve supplied tens of thousands of rent guarantees. There are lots of reasons why it’s better to use our service than being a guarantor yourself
If a guarantor is needed by the accommodation provider, you could potentially stand as guarantor yourself, or you could pay rent upfront.
This is how our service is better than those options
How it works:
Your child fails to pay rent on time - it happens!
We immediately pay the landlord the full amount
We work with your child to pay over time
Why is this a good thing?
Who is your child living with? Are they reliable?
Most house shares in the UK have ‘Joint and Several’ contracts, so if one person doesn’t pay, the rest of the house are liable.
We can protect you against that.

If your child hasn’t found a property yet and you think they’ll need a guarantee, why not let us find them a home where they’ll be accepted?
