PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

You have done this twice before and she hasn't dropped you in the s*** presumably when she would have been worse off financially, ie at univ, the only circumstances to have changed are yours, surely hers have got better?
I've had to get one before when I was looking for a new place to rent. At the time I was on my own, had an income of sorts as a supply teacher - but obviously that's transient and offers a landlord no security at all (although I never ever missed a rent period because my mother brought me up to know that the first flipping bill you make sure is paid is the roof over your head... shame my cousin missed this memo but that's another story). My mother stood as mine - but again, the fear she'd have killed me if I ever mucked about paying rent is a massive motivator!
Other landlords never needed this, and once I got with hubby who has a salaried job it was no longer a factor.
