Tenant Alternative Options
Alternative Deposit Option
We are now working with Flatfair to offer a No Deposit alternative to the usual Tenancy Deposit option.
What is a No Deposit Guarantee?
With our No Deposit solution, tenants can secure a new home with a small check-in fee instead of paying for a costly deposit, with you paying for any damages when it’s time to move out.
Why Tenants Love No Deposit Renting
- Lower upfront move-in costs
Instead of a deposit, you pay a one-off check-in fee equal to 28% of one months rent (inc VAT) - so that means much lower moving costs.
- Fast and fair
When it’s time to move out, you’ll only pay if there’s a problem you’re responsible for, and you won't have to wait to get a deposit back.
- Fast and easy check-out
Checking out is fair and easy, with government-backed adjudicators on hand in case there’s a charge dispute.
(Tenants need to pay a £25 adjudication fee, which you’ll get back if the amount awarded by the adjudicator is less than the proposed charge.) - No sneaky fees
There are no recurring charges if you decide to renew your tenancy and stay in your home.

Professional Guarantor
What is a Professional Guarantor ?
A professional guarantor is a third party who agrees to take responsibility for a tenant's rent payments if the tenant is unable to pay.
Struggling to find a guarantor can be a major hurdle, especially for first time renters or those with limited credit history. Not everyone has someone they can ask. That’s where Goodlord or Rent Guarantor comes in.
Perfect if you're:
-
Employed/self-employed
-
Renting overseas
-
Unable to rely on family or friends
-
A student
