About Rentmigo

At Rentmigo, we believe that renting in the UK shouldn't just depend on having the "right" guarantor.

Over the past few years, renting in the UK has become less about tenant eligibility and more about them being able to tick the right boxes. You can have a good income, savings in the bank, and a strong rental history, but still be told you need a UK guarantor just to be considered.

We believe that this isn’t right.

We’ve seen firsthand how this can create huge problems for international students, expat workers, freelancers, contractors, and people new to the UK.

Rentmigo was created to fix that.

At Rentmigo, we act as a UK-based rental guarantor for tenants who do not have access to one, but are able to afford their rent.

Through our rent guarantee coverage, we give landlords confidence that rent will be paid, meaning they are more likely to approve international tenants, expats and students who might otherwise be declined.

Built for international tenants. Trusted by UK landlords.

The rental market in the UK has changed. Work is more flexible, careers are more global, and many tenants arrive in the UK without a local support network. Yet many landlords across the UK still ask for a guarantor as part of their tenant referencing process.

For many international renters, this outdated system makes it difficult for them to find rental accommodation.

But now, instead of relying on family or friends to act as guarantors, Rentmigo assesses whether you can genuinely afford the rent. If approved, we provide rent guarantee coverage that gives landlords the confidence they need to move forward with your tenancy.

This means fewer rejections, less stress, and a fairer route into the rental market.

Who Rentmigo is designed for

Rentmigo is designed specifically for tenants who may struggle to pass traditional referencing, including:

International students studying in the UK without a UK-based guarantor
Expat workers and professionals that are relocating for employment
Freelancers and contractors with non-standard income
Tenants building their UK credit history
New arrivals to the UK who are financially stable but without any financial history

If you've been told “you'd be perfect, but you need a guarantor”, Rentmigo exists for you.

HOW IT WORKS

How Rentmigo works

A simple process designed to get you into the home you want, without the hassle of finding a guarantor.

Apply online

Applying for Rentmigo takes minutes. Our digital application process uses open banking, income verification and employment checks to assess whether we can help. In short, we look at what matters: your income, savings, and ability to pay rent on time.

Get a rent guarantor

Once approved, you can use Rentmigo as your guarantor. If a rental payment is missed, we ensure your landlord still receives the rent under our agreement. This gives landlords confidence to approve tenants they might otherwise decline, without placing pressure on you to find a guarantor.

Secure the home you want

With Rentmigo in place, you can move forward with your rental knowing you have financial protection. There’s no need to involve family members, ask friends to take on financial risk, or pay big deposits just to get approved.

Why tenants choose Rentmigo

Tenants choose Rentmigo because it removes one of the biggest barriers to renting in the UK: Not having a guarantor.

Our process is designed specifically for international and non-traditional tenants, with a fast, online application process that helps you secure the home you want.

We believe access to housing should be based on what you can afford, not who you know.

Our Mission

Rentmigo was created to make renting in the UK fairer. We believe that international students, expats and responsible tenants should not be locked out of housing just because they don't fit outdated guarantor models.

Our mission is simple: We help capable tenants rent with confidence, while giving landlords the reassurance they need.

Frequently asked questions

We assess if you are eligible for Rentmigo based on the affordability of the rental for you, your income stability and specific circumstances. Rentmigo is particularly suited to international students, expats, freelancers or anyone in the process of building a UK credit history.

No. Rentmigo is designed to replace the need for a traditional UK guarantor by offering rent guarantee coverage to landlords.

We may run soft credit checks as part of our assessment, but these won't affect your credit score. Our focus is on modern affordability checks rather than traditional credit history, making us ideal for those with limited UK credit history.

Most tenants can apply and receive a decision quickly through our digital assessment process. In many cases, eligibility can be confirmed within minutes.

If you miss a rent payment, Rentmigo makes sure your landlord receives the rent under the terms of the policy. However, you’ll still be responsible for the payment according to your tenancy agreement.

You pay a fee directly to us. We act as your guarantor and help you get into the property you want. The exact cost will depend on factors like rental amount and risk, but the cost is usually the equivalent of a few weeks rent.
