What does a guarantor mean?

A guarantor is someone who takes responsibility for the credit on behalf of someone else. Essentially, the guarantor agrees to accept liability for repayments if the borrower no longer has the means to make them.


Whenever you may require a guarantor?


There are many reasons why you may need a guarantor to obtain approval for your rental application. Common alarm signals that may result in a landlord requiring a guarantor include:


Credit issues

If you have limited or no credit history, poor credit, or bankruptcy on your credit report, the property manager or landlord may have concerns about whether you can pay your rent in a timely manner.


No rental history

Many homeowners or real estate managers require that new tenants have a guarantor. Once you have accumulated your rental history, you may be able to rent somewhere else with no personal deposit.


Unreliable employment history

Frequent differences in your work history may cause income problems in the near future. Or, if you're a student who doesn't have a full-time job, the landlord can ask for security that your rent will be paid, even if you have student loans or savings to cover the rental costs.


Minimal income

Many homeowners require a household income of at least three times the monthly rent in order for the tenant to afford the rent and other living expenses. Homeowners or real estate managers will ask for proof of income and may confirm this information with your current employer.


How we can find a guarantor?


Each company has its own criteria and a different fee structure. It is therefore important to examine the advantages and disadvantages of each business with care.
