How is Rentmigo different from a deposit alternative?

The difference between a rent guarantor and a deposit alternative.

Written by Joe Wigoder

Rentmigo isn't a deposit alternative. The two do different jobs.

What a deposit alternative does

A deposit alternative replaces or reduces the deposit you pay at the start of your tenancy. It's there to protect the landlord against end-of-tenancy costs like damage or cleaning.

What Rentmigo does

Rentmigo is a rent guarantor. We step in to pay your landlord if rent goes unpaid, which is what your landlord is looking for when they ask for a guarantor.

Will I still need to pay a deposit?

Your landlord may still ask for a tenancy deposit as well as a guarantor. That's between you and your landlord, and it doesn't affect your Rentmigo guarantee.
