Simplify your accommodation search and stand out to landlords.

You’ve started applying for your student accommodation but keep coming up against the same question.

“Do you have a rent guarantor?”

That hurdle alone can be the difference between securing your accommodation there and then or missing out and starting your search again.

Which is why Housing Hand has developed Guarantor Passport, only available for students.

Get pre approved for a Housing Hand guarantor

Put simply, the Guarantor Passport is pre-approved guarantor with Housing Hand. A conditional offer. Showing landlords and accommodation providers that Housing Hand could stand as your guarantor, subject to completing the full guarantor process. Even if you don’t have the rental amount or accommodation details yet.

Set up your account with Housing Hand, verify your ID, pay a small onboarding fee, and you have everything you need to start your student accommodation search.

What do I need to get a Guarantor Passport?

Simply set up your Housing Hand account, upload your valid proof of ID and complete your £20 onboarding fee. 

Your Guarantor Passport will be sent as a QR code. This allows your landlord or accommodation provider to prove you are who you say you are and confirm that you have been pre-approved for a guarantor with Housing Hand.

Once you’ve secured your accommodation details, we will then ask you for some more details so Housing Hand can stand as your guarantor.

Common Questions

Get health and wellbeing support with Housing Hand

Our guarantor service is already designed to make renting simpler. The health and wellbeing service is there to make the rest of life a little easier too, and it's included free for every Housing Hand guarantor customer.


If you're still searching for a property and have a Guarantor Passport, you can add the service for a small monthly fee in the meantime. Once you complete your full guarantor application, the subscription stops and it becomes part of your package at no extra cost.
