A few things you should know

Rest easy knowing your rental income is protected. Here’s some more information to get you started with more peace of mind.

What’s covered by Lease Guarantee?

You can select how many months of rent you want coverage for – 3, 6, or 12 months. That means, depending on the length of coverage you select when you invite a renter, we’ll cover rent for a certain number of months in arrears and rent going forward, until you find a new renter.

Who pays for the coverage?

Renters pay the policy premiums. First, invite your applicants to apply. After they have completed the application, if they are approved, they will then proceed to payment. There are no fees to the landlord for coverage or registering. 

What determines the price of the coverage?

Pricing is personalized based on a few key factors, including the monthly rent, the renter applicant’s financial profile, and the coverage you require. The renter will receive a quote after completing our free online application. If approved, the renter pays an upfront, non-refundable premium.

Is this a one time fee for the renter?

If the property owner wants to continue their lease guarantee beyond the first term, then the policy must be renewed with every new lease (usually annually).

What’s in it for the renter?

Under many circumstances, a renter who doesn’t meet your qualification standards will be turned away. Our coverage makes it easier for a renter to be approved, while at the same time protecting your rental income. So you can rent to them with greater peace of mind, and they get the home they want.

How do you make sure renters won’t take advantage?

TheGuarantors has indemnification rights to pursue the renter for any claims paid. The renter is aware of this because they sign an agreement that outlines their responsibilities.

Don’t take our word for it

I’ve had renters I really like, but sometimes their credit is low or their income is tight. I send them to TheGuarantors and it makes it a lot easier to approve them without feeling like I’m rolling the dice.

With just a couple rentals, one missed payment can mess you up fast. TheGuarantors gives me peace of mind, and I don’t have to pay anything for it.

When a renter leaves and the unit goes empty, you still have a mortgage to pay. Having vacancy protection through TheGuarantors is a huge relief.
