Read on to find out the meaning of a guarantor, who can be a guarantor and information on the partnership.

Simply put, a rent guarantor is someone who signs a guarantor form to agree that they will pay the rent if you cannot. For more information on the definition of a guarantor or who can be a guarantor, follow the links or check out our help centre.
