Guarantor Service
Are you moving abroad for your higher education and looking for off-campus accommodation? Are you finding it hard without a guarantor, especially if you want to pay your rent in easy instalments? With the help of our partners, we will find you a guarantor for the entire period of your stay! So, if you’re going to the UK, Ireland, the USA, or any other part of the world, we will help make it easy for you to stop paying the rent upfront.
A guarantor is responsible for paying your rent in case you default. Whether you are looking for a private studio room or a shared space, chances are you’ll be required to provide details of a guarantor who must be a working professional in your country of study with a strong credit score.
Most accommodation providers will ask for a guarantor if you’re unable to pay your entire rent upfront. For international students, finding a suitable guarantor in a new country is a tall order. To make the entire process of booking your accommodation easier, University Living will provide a professional guarantor for your tenancy period. This service can be availed for a one-time nominal fee.
To secure a guarantor in another country, feel free to contact our 24/7 support team and we’ll be more than happy to assist you.
