How does paying a fee instead of a refundable deposit help me?
A cash deposit locks up your money while you are renting. A guarantee fee lowers the upfront amount you need to move.
How much will I need to pay?
The tenant pays an upfront guarantee fee, plus a small monthly admin fee. Exact pricing is confirmed during activation.
What happens when I renew my lease?
The guarantee can be renewed with the lease, subject to the renewal fee and the active guarantee terms.
Am I still liable for damage or unpaid rent?
Yes. The guarantee does not remove your lease responsibilities. It provides a structured protection and claim process.
