Who Can Be A Rent Guarantor In The UK?

In the UK rental market, a guarantor is often required to give landlords confidence that rent will be paid. Traditionally, this has been a parent, relative, or close friend who lives in the UK and has a suitable income. But not everyone has someone who can step in. This is where Tenanta provides a professional solution.

Traditional Guarantors Explained

Most landlords ask for a guarantor when tenants cannot show a strong credit history or steady UK-based income. Family members or friends are usually chosen, but they must live in the UK, pass affordability checks, and be willing to take on full financial responsibility for the rent. For many tenants, this option is simply not possible.

“Tenanta removes the need to rely on family or friends. With our service, tenants can apply online and once approved, we step in as the guarantor, allowing them to secure a tenancy without unnecessary barriers.’’
