A few things you should know

Rest easy knowing your rental income is protected. Here’s some more information to get you started with more peace of mind.

How much does a policy cost?

The cost generally varies from a quarter to 130% of one month's rent, depending on a number of factors, including the length of coverage you select, the gross monthly rent, and the risk profile of the applicant.

Who pays for the policy?

Renters pay the policy premiums. First, invite your applicants to apply. After they have completed the application, if they are approved, they will then proceed to payment. There are no fees to the landlord for coverage or registering. 

Is this a one time fee for the renter?

Deposit Coverage incurs a one time fee (except in California, where it will need to be renewed at policy expiration). If the landlord wants to continue their rent guarantee beyond the first lease term, then Rent Coverage must be renewed with every new lease (usually annually).

What determines the price of the policy?

A combination of the gross monthly rent, the coverage level, and the risk profile of the applicant. The landlord selects the amount of coverage they would like. Policy prices typically range from about half to one month’s rent.

What’s in it for the renter?

Under many circumstances, a renter who doesn’t meet your qualification standards will be turned away. Our coverage makes it easier for a renter to be approved, while at the same time protecting your rental income. So you can rent to them with greater peace of mind, and they get the home they want.

How do you make sure renters won’t take advantage?

TheGuarantors has indemnification rights to pursue the renter for any claims paid. The renter is aware of this because they sign an agreement that outlines their responsibilities.

Frequently asked questions

Rent Coverage is our Lease Guarantee surety product that functions substantially similar to insurance, helping landlords protect their rental income. If, for any reason, the renter is unable to pay their rent, we will cover the loss within the parameters of the policy terms. All you have to do is invite a renter to apply before they sign their lease, select the coverage you’d like (the maximum number of months you’d like to be paid back if there are issues), and if the renter is approved, we’ll issue the bond. Because the renter pays the policy price, there is no cost to the landlord for the coverage to take effect.

Renters pay our policy premiums. There are no fees to the landlord for coverage.

You can file a claim with us online. Claims are typically paid within one month of receipt of the required information. Detailed procedures for filing a claim are provided in the Lease Rental Bonds General Terms and Conditions.

No, your renters will provide documentation. After you invite your prospective tenant to apply for coverage, they will be prompted to complete an application online, where they will upload their documents and provide permission to run a soft credit check. For most renters, we only need a copy of government-issued ID.
