Under the UK Renters' Rights Act, landlords cannot demand more than one month's rent upfront — yet international students without a UK-based guarantor often still face rejection. Open Guarantor offers a compliant, voluntary alternative.
Voluntary Escrow Deposit
Student voluntarily deposits full tenancy funds into a ring-fenced client trust account, signing a binding tripartite agreement.
Guaranteed Landlord Acceptance
We issue an instant Certificate of Escrow Funds to letting agents and landlords, proving 100% rent backing without credit friction.
Monthly Automated Payouts
On the 1st of every month, our automated ledger releases exact monthly rent directly to the landlord's UK bank account via BACS.
