FAQ'S - GUARANTOR

FAQ's - Guarantor forms

As most young people have not been able to establish a credit history or references from previous addresses we ask that they have their obligations guaranteed by their parents or guardians.

All student tenants must have their individual obligations guaranteed before they can move into a property. This means that, as part of the tenancy paperwork, each tenant will be sent a guarantor form to collect this information.

As guarantor you should read the tenancy relating to the agreement before signing. We are happy to email a copy of the tenancy to you if requested.

The tenants' obligations include but are not limited to payment of rent and any wilful damage caused to the property or any furniture provided by the landlord; further obligations are detailed in the tenancy.

To ensure guarantors would be able to honour the agreement in the event of a default by the tenant, we will run a credit check using the information provided.

This information will be treated as strictly confidential and handled in accordance with our / my privacy policy which you can find on our website or a full copy can be requested. 

As part of the credit check we need to verify the guarantor's identity so require some identification (a passport, utility bill, council tax bill and a photo card driving licence). Guarantors must have proof of residency in the UK.

If, for any reason the guarantor fails the credit check or is not willing to sign the deed of guarantee, provide identification documents or any documents requested to prove employment, the tenant can provide an additional guarantor, or pay all rent up front .
