This is someone who we can call on if there is a problem with rent payments. For the majority of our properties the person needs to be a UK Guarantor, however in some properties we will accept a non-UK based person as a guarantor. Please contact our property teams directly to find out more. We currently accept international Guarantors at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Coventry: <a href=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/building\/gosford-gate\/\">Gosford Gate<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/building\/sky-blue-point\/\">Sky Blue Point<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leeds: <a href=\"https:\/\/host-students.com\/building\/exchange-court\/\">Exchange Court<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-mint-color\">What is a Guarantor?<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A UK Guarantor is someone who agrees to pay your rent if you are unable to. We expect a UK Guarantor to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Be someone you know personally, living and working in the UK.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be between the ages of 18-75.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be in full-time employment, self-employed or receiving a private pension.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have a good credit history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide proof of income.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide proof of residence (last 3 years).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This provides us with security, ensuring your rent will be paid on time and in full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where we accept international guarantors you will need to contact the property team directly to discuss the eligibility of a non-UK based individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please note:<\/strong>&nbsp;By agreeing to be a guarantor, the person(s) is signing a legal document stating that they agree to pay the rent and guarantee the behaviour of the resident if they default. Any student who does not have a UK guarantor will be required to pay the full year\u2019s rent upon application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-mint-color\">How do I cancel a booking?<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cancel your contract before the contract begins, or you want to cancel and move out early, you will be subject to our cancellation terms and charges.
