Renting a property should be an exciting step, but for many tenants, the challenge of securing a guarantor can stand in the way of their perfect home. Whether you’re a student, self-employed, or just starting out, having a rent guarantor can be the key to passing affordability checks and gaining landlord approval. At Wills & Smerdon, we’re always looking for ways to make renting easier for our tenants. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our partnership with RentGuarantor, a trusted service endorsed by Propertymark, the leading professional body for property agents in the UK.

What is a Rent Guarantor?

A rent guarantor is someone who agrees to cover your rent if you are unable to pay. Traditionally, this would be a family member or close friend, but that’s not always an option for every tenant. That’s where professional guarantor services like RentGuarantor come in. Instead of relying on a personal connection, tenants can apply for a professional guarantor service, which provides landlords with the assurance they need while offering tenants more flexibility and independence.

Why Do Landlords Require a Guarantor?

Landlords want to ensure their property is protected against financial risk. If a tenant experiences unexpected financial difficulties, having a guarantor in place provides landlords with a safety net. This requirement is common for:
✔️ Students renting for the first time
✔️ Self-employed individuals with fluctuating incomes
✔️ Tenants with limited UK credit history
✔️ Those with lower-than-required incomes according to affordability checks

1️⃣ Apply Online – The process is quick and easy, with applications usually completed within 24 hours.
2️⃣ Get Approved – Once approved, RentGuarantor acts as your official guarantor, giving your landlord peace of mind.
