Is my family member responsible for my rent?

Why a family member supporting your application is not responsible for your rent.

Written by Joe Wigoder

No. Your family member isn't your guarantor and isn't responsible for your rent.

Why not?

Rentmigo is your guarantor. Your family member doesn't sign the Rent Guarantee Agreement or any other contract with your landlord or with Rentmigo. Their bank statements are only used to help us assess your application.

What if rent isn't paid?

Rentmigo pays your landlord, and the unpaid rent remains your responsibility as the tenant. We won't ask your family member to pay it.
