Get a guarantor for your lease.

If your credit, income or rental history falls short of what a landlord asks for, a lease guarantor can back your lease so you can still get approved.

$79 to apply, refunded if you don't qualify, plus a program fee once you're matched. The credit check comes after payment and won't affect your score.

What a lease guarantor does

A guarantor agrees to cover your rent if you can't pay it, which gives the property manager the same assurance they'd usually ask a parent or co-signer for. It's how renters with thin credit, a short rental history or income just under the requirement get approved.

You apply once with SimpliMatch instead of asking family or friends. The application costs $79, refunded if you don't qualify, plus a program fee once you're matched. The credit check comes after payment so it won't affect your score.

How the application works

  • Answer a few questions, then review your application before you pay
  • Screening covers your credit, background and eviction history
  • An approval decision right away in most cases
  • If approved, a letter you can share with property managers
