foreign guarantor?

09-04-2006, 22:07 PM

hi,

hope someone can help me with this. i have 2 nice potential tenants, who have recently some to this country. both are actively jobseeking and can prove they are registered with employment agencies, but not yet employed.

they can provide passports and valid 12 month working visas. they can also provide bank statements, and have offered to pay more upfront than just deposit and 1st months rent, but cannot afford the full 6 months of rent upfront. personal and previous landlord refs can be obtained too.

they would like to offer parents as guarantors - but as they are not uk based, would this be of any value?

failing that, how many months' rent would both reasonable and sensible to ask them to pay upfront?

i don't just want to say no outright to them, as i would be happy to have them as tenants with a guarantor, just not sure about how how useful a foreign guarantor would be. [did search for this and found the v. useful guarantor checklist]

many thanks

soo

Fortunately in a recent Court case the guarantor forked out!!!

The Court in England and Wales advised me that any Order they made could not be enforced in Scotland.

I'm not taking on any more Scottish guarantors and certainly won't take on a guarantor living abroad.

OP stated no such info, you inferred it!
A LL can accept a foreshortened Notice as valid provided he does not accept further rent until after expiry of Notice when measne profits are payable..

Tenant rescinding notice, but not paid rent in full.

by Farah V

I have a tenant who gave me less than a fortnights notice to quit at the end of November. I was thrilled as I'd been agonising over how to remove her. She was due to leave tomorrow, but sent me a WhatsApp message on Wednesday telling me she intended to stay. In addition to this, she has paid about...

No, the LL did not accept 14 Dec as the last day - they said that they 'accepted' 31 Dec as the last day (or maybe 30 Dec), despite the tenant not actually offering that.

I assume T caused the basin damage, so charge the T for replacing it less estimate for FW&T for lost years of life expectancy since provided new. Thus the Deposit remains intact for other T damage discovered. less FW&T, or combine and use Deposit scheme ADR...

rough cost of repairing a basin

by Battered landlord

Tenants have cracked a basin (it was new when they moved in). The damages outweigh the deposit I have. I got a quote of £200 for a new sink, including labour and disposal of old sink). They have asked how much to just repair it. Can anyone give me a rough idea? Thanks very much.

There are plenty of places that will give a quote - the only figure I've seen (given in a review) was around £160.

I don't think that the tenancy ends on 14 December - the notice given was invalid, and the landlord communicated that the notice, as given, was not being accepted. I don't think the landlord can unilaterally change the dates on the notice and expect them to be binding on the tenant.

In which case write to her again saying that her tenancy ends on 14 December and you will be proceeding straight to court to get a court order to remove her. You will also be demanding mesne profits at a rate of double the rent for any days she occupies after 14th December. Then follow through...

It will depend on what other financial commitments they have so once you've got your required income figure you could ask to see 6 months bank and credit card statements
