  • Confirm the “UK GUARANTOR NOT REQUIRED” tag is present in Concurrent.
  • Confirm the Leap External Reference ID is populated.
  • Check Guarantor Status: Under Review / Approved / Ready to Sign / Waiver Declined.

  • Combine waiver and non-waiver students in a joint liability agreement.

Who is eligible for the waiver?

  • Must be a registered full-time student at a recognised institution.

  • Updated ledgers may be requested.
  • Any over-recovery (e.g. student later repays) must be returned.

What operational tips should staff remember?

  • Students must choose waiver at booking—no retroactive changes.
  • Never manually edit Leap fields.
  • Waiver can be removed if tenancy cancelled; new tenant can choose waiver or not.
  • Waiver is student-only (not for non-student contracts).
  • Submit claims within 120 days with full documentation.
  • Proof of intent must be dated within 90 days and clearly show intent to move in.
  • Claims must be submitted via Leap’s online portal (not by email).

What script can staff use when advising a student?

“If you don’t have a UK-based guarantor, you can book using the Leap Guarantor Waiver. Just select the rent option marked ‘UK GUARANTOR NOT REQUIRED’ during your booking. The fee is included in your rent, and there’s no separate payment or guarantor form needed. It’s a quick, easy way to confirm your accommodation.”

What is the quick reference checklist?

Booking: Student selects “UK Guarantor Not Required”
