5 Key Questions Landlords Ask About Guaranteed Rent
Guaranteed rent schemes are becoming increasingly popular among landlords who want to secure consistent income and reduce the hassle of managing their rental properties. However, many landlords still have questions about how these schemes work, what they offer, and whether they’re a good fit.
In this guide, we’ll answer the five most frequently asked questions about guaranteed rent, helping you decide if it’s the right choice for your property.
What is Guaranteed Rent?
Guaranteed rent is a service where a landlord partners with a letting agent or property management company that agrees to pay a fixed monthly rental income, regardless of tenant occupancy. This eliminates the risk of void periods and late payments, providing landlords with financial stability.
With Citywide Housing, guaranteed rent goes beyond financial security. We handle tenant sourcing, property maintenance, and compliance, so you can enjoy a truly hands-off experience.
How Does a Rent Guarantee Scheme Work?
A rent guarantee scheme typically involves the following steps:
- Property Assessment: The letting agent or property manager evaluates your property to ensure it qualifies for the scheme.
- Agreement Terms: A fixed monthly rental amount is agreed upon, which the landlord will receive regardless of occupancy.
- Management Begins: The company takes over the management of the property, including tenant placement, maintenance, and compliance.
Citywide Housing’s Guaranteed Rent Programme offers landlords a seamless process, ensuring you receive your rental income on time while we take care of the rest.
What Are the Key Benefits of Guaranteed Rent for Landlords?
