Your guarantor will have to sign a contract with the letting agent or landlord. This will set out the terms of the guarantor and their responsibilities to the property. Most contracts will state that a guarantor is liable to cover any unpaid rent for the length of the tenancy.
No rental history: Many landlords or property managers require first-time tenants to have a guarantor. Once you've built up your rental history, you can possibly lease elsewhere without a personal guarantor.
In most cases, guarantors will fill out the same application as a full lessee. The difference being that some landlords require only a credit screening and not the full criminal + eviction history check for the guarantor.
Financial Requirements Income: Guarantors need to have a much higher income than what is needed for the tenant to qualify. This is usually about 80-100 times the monthly rent. Credit Score: As we mentioned above, a good credit history is crucial for guarantors. Landlords often look for a credit score of 700 or higher.
It will still be hard because guarantors are usually for students, and most landlords will expect working tenants to make 2.5 to 3 times the rent as you say, but you'll have a better chance than if you don't go into the details of your situation.
Depending on the terms of the tenancy agreement and guarantee provisions, the guarantor could also be responsible for paying for any damage caused to the property and other costs that the tenancy agreement may make the tenant liable for, such as the landlord's legal fees to recover possession of the property.
