On HousingAnywhere, landlords may require a guarantor for tenants to rent their place. If you don't have a guarantor, you can choose HousingAnywhere Rent Guarantee.

What is HousingAnywhere Rent Guarantee

HousingAnywhere Rent Guarantee is an easy and affordable alternative to having a guarantor, with benefits for both tenants and landlords.

Benefits of HousingAnywhere Rent Guarantee

  • Rent anywhere without a guarantor

  • Temporary protection for missed rent or damages

  • Get instant booking confirmation

  • Simpler process with less paperwork


How much it costs

HousingAnywhere Rent Guarantee lets you rent anywhere without a guarantor. It costs 3% of your Total Contract Value, which you'll pay as a one-time fee when you book a place.

Total Contract Value = Monthly rent × Number of months in your rental period

Example

Let's say you're renting a place for 1 year, and the monthly rent is €1,500. Rent Guarantee for your stay will be a one-time payment of €540.

Monthly rent: €1,500

Rental period: 12 months

Total Contract Value: €18,000

Rent Guarantee (3% of Total Contract Value): €540 (one-time payment)


How it works

HousingAnywhere Rent Guarantee makes renting easier and ensures a smooth experience for both tenants and landlords.

When you choose Rent Guarantee, the landlord will get insurance from Mila, our trusted insurance partner. If you miss a rent payment or accidentally cause damages beyond your deposit, Mila will immediately pay the landlord. Mila will then contact you to arrange repayment. You can pay back the amount in installments with interest.

So you can stay in your home until your rental period ends, and the landlord will be paid for any losses.


Choosing Rent Guarantee

If the landlord requires a guarantor, you'll be asked to enter your guarantor's information when booking.

Here's how you can choose Rent Guarantee:

  1. In Choose a guarantor, select HousingAnywhere Rent Guarantee.

  2. Upload the required documents.

  3. Add your payment details and complete your booking.

Select 'HousingAnywhere Rent Guarantee'

Add required documents

Complete your booking

That's it! You'll receive a separate email with an invoice for HousingAnywhere Rent Guarantee along with your booking confirmation.

The landlord will receive all the details about their coverage.
