If you’ve got questions, we’re ready with answers

A Lease Guarantee policy can include Rent Coverage only or both Rent & Deposit Coverage. 

Rent Coverage covers up to a certain amount of missed rent. That means, depending on the bond you elect to require, rent for a certain amount in arrears and rent going-forward, until you find a new renter (but not concessions or penalties). 

Deposit Coverage, a security deposit alternative, covers certain damages, utilities, legal fees, and late fees.

Renters do. The price is determined after underwriting in accordance with rates filed and approved by the regulators. Whether a policy includes only Rent Coverage or both Rent & Deposit Coverage, it covers someone (the landlord) other than the person who buys it (the renter).

Pricing is personalized based on a few key factors, including the monthly rent, the renter applicant’s financial profile, and the coverage you require. The renter will receive a quote after completing our free online application. If approved, the renter pays an upfront, non-refundable premium. The cost is per lease, not per renter, so roommates can share the cost.
