Why do I have to pay advanced rent?

Why do I need a guarantor?

They will need a Name, current UK address, email address and a contact number. Once you have signed the contract your guarantor will be asked to accept the agreement and provide proof of ID and address. If they are not a UK national but reside in the UK they must provide proof of settled status.
What can I do, if I don’t have a guarantor?
