Are rent guarantee schemes worth it?
They don’t show up to check if the inventory matches reality, they ignore your email when you complain, they only extend your lease for 6 months so they can bully you into two rent increases per year, even though the landlord doesn’t know anything about it, so they lie openly and if you’re not ready, to pay more, they spend you with the eviction notice. The latest government-led regulation, pressure on revenue, and the overall slowdown in national rent price growth are proportionally determining BTL landlords’ appetite for risk and return. One of the best things about it is that it’s very easy.
