I'm a guarantor. What does this mean?

If you’ve agreed to be your student’s guarantor, your role is to help them live up to their side of the tenancy agreement. This includes ensuring they pay their rent on time and adhere to our behaviour policy. You take joint financial responsibility for the tenancy, which means you agree to pay your student’s rent if they can’t.

In short, we ask you to give them the space and support they need to live independently at university, which is exactly what we try to do ourselves.
