Don't have guarantor what to do?
Comments
-
A guarantor has to have sufficent income to pay the rent should you default and have a checkable credit history. So your unemployed relative friend couldn't act as guarantor anyway.
Why are agents insisting on a guarantor? Have you moved from outside the UK to London so have no credit history here?
You may be better off looking to rent without using an agent, a private landlord might not do such extensive referencing.0 -
Why would anyone act as a "Guarantor" to another person's possible debts, other than for young members of your family ??izoomzoom wrote:Is there no one that you could ask, in the whole of England ?
Even a close friend, how could you predict what will happen.
It's farcical to ask for a Guarantor for older adults.
