Guaranteed Rent is a service offered primarily by lettings agencies to landlords, ensuring a steady rental income regardless of whether the property is occupied or if the tenant misses a payment. For landlords, it’s a way to sidestep common rental risks like vacant periods, payment delays, or tenant issues, providing a dependable and stress-free rental experience.
How Guaranteed Rent Works
- Agreement with the Lettings Agency: The landlord enters into a contract with a lettings agency offering guaranteed rent. This agreement outlines terms like monthly payment amounts, contract duration, and specific responsibilities of both the agency and landlord.
- Agency Takes Over Management: Once the agreement is in place, the agency assumes full management of the property, from marketing and tenant vetting to maintenance and compliance with rental regulations. Essentially, they act as the landlord’s representative, handling daily management tasks.
- Consistent Monthly Payments: Regardless of occupancy status, the lettings agency pays the landlord a fixed rental income. If the property is vacant or tenants miss payments, it’s up to the agency to cover these gaps, ensuring the landlord’s income is unaffected.
- Handling Tenant Issues and Maintenance: Many guaranteed rent services include regular property inspections and basic maintenance services. This added layer of management alleviates landlord worries about property upkeep and tenant behavior.

Ideal for Certain Landlords
Potential Drawbacks
Guaranteed rent is particularly appealing to landlords who may want a hands-off experience or those who live far from the property. It’s also an attractive option for landlords with a large portfolio who benefit from streamlined, dependable income across multiple properties. We cover the following areas: East London, Essex, Thurrock, Colchester, Southend-on-Sea, Upminster, Chelmsford, Dagenham, Harlow, Harold Wood, Hornchurch, Rainham, Romford and Greater London, offering expert property services with guaranteed rent across the region.
While guaranteed rent services bring many benefits, they may involve slightly lower monthly payments than what landlords could earn on the open market. This difference accounts for the agency’s role in managing property risk and taking on vacancy costs.

It’s a commitment to professional tenants and superior property care, with a promise to return your investment in the same great condition it was entrusted to us.
