What is the Leap Guarantor Waiver?

The Leap Guarantor Waiver is an alternative to the traditional UK-based guarantor requirement for student accommodation. It allows qualifying students to secure their tenancy without naming a guarantor, by paying a non-refundable waiver fee which is built into their rent. Once active, Leap serves as the guarantor in case of financial default by the tenant.

Only students are eligible under Leap’s underwriting guidelines. Non-students cannot use the waiver.

Key Benefits for Students

  • No need to provide a guarantor
  • No separate payment—waiver fee is rolled into rent
  • Speeds up the booking and contract process
  • Ideal for international students or those without UK-based family support

How Is the Waiver Selected During Booking?

During the Concurrent booking journey, students are shown two tenancy options:

Option

Label

Weekly Rent

Guarantor Required

Includes Waiver

Standard

“UK GUARANTOR MAY BE REQUIRED”

Lower

Yes

No

Waiver

“UK GUARANTOR NOT REQUIRED”

Higher

No

Yes

The waiver must be selected by the student at the time of booking. It cannot be added manually later by property management staff or admins.

Back-End Confirmation Process in Concurrent

After booking, team members must:

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

Do Not:

  • Attempt to modify the tenancy type to add Leap manually
  • Add or change the Leap External Reference ID
  • Combine waiver and non-waiver students in a joint liability agreement

Eligibility Criteria

  • Must be a registered full-time student at a recognised institution
  • Must select the waiver through the online booking flow
  • Must sign the tenancy agreement in full
  • Not applicable for non-student residents, subtenants, or corporate lets

Tenancy Takeovers & Reassignments

If a tenant using the Leap Waiver wants to cancel or transfer their tenancy:

  • The waiver fee can be cancelled and removed from the original booking.
  • The incoming tenant can then choose their own arrangement:
    • Select a waiver-backed tenancy
    • Choose a standard guarantor route

A new Leap policy will be generated for the incoming student if the waiver is selected.

Non-Arrivals: How Leap Handles Them

Definition

A non-arrival refers to a tenant who:

  • Has signed their agreement
  • Is covered by the waiver
  • But fails to move in by the tenancy start date

Claim Requirements

  • Claims must be submitted within 120 days of the tenancy start date
  • You must provide:
    • Signed accommodation agreement
    • Written proof of intent to arrive, dated within 90 days of start date

What Happens Next?

  • Claims are handled by Reserv on behalf of Leap
  • You’ll be paid within 10 business days once all documents are provided
  • Monthly follow-ups will request updated ledgers
  • If the student later repays, property management will need to return any overpayment received

Ongoing Claim Monitoring by Leap (via Reserv)

  • After a claim is approved:
    • Reserv will check monthly to see if further payment is needed
    • Updated ledgers may be requested
    • Any over-recovery (e.g. student repays post-claim) must be returned

Operational Tips & Reminders

Task

Reminder

Anyone moving into Bolton for college should definitely consider The Cube for accommodation. The amenities which include the common area are well maintained with regular cleaning and maintenance. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen is equipped with the latest appliances. The location is bang in the middle of the town centre and is literally 2 minutes away from the train and bus stations. The university is about a 10-minute walk in the same direction. The property management team members are always available and are very responsive to inputs. They do a fantastic job and have made my stay at The Cube a very pleasant one indeed!

This is the best decision I made when I started college at Salford University. The location of the Cube is perfect and all amenities and transport are just walking distance. The place is well kept and rooms are sufficient for a single person with the best facility of en-suite bathrooms in all rooms. The place is highly safe and monitored by security guards and CCTV cameras monitoring 24× 7. Last but not least the staff are really warm and helpful and take care of every student personally. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a home away from home.

I am currently staying here and it is a great place. The rooms are well equipt and it is in a really convenient location being only 10 minutes from the university and minutes away from any nightlife. The whole staff are amazing, especially the reception staff always try to say hello if they see you and make you feel welcome. There are also small events that go on from pool competitions to fun sports days, it's a really good place to live.
