Guaranteed Rent
Enjoy reliable monthly rental income with City Borough Housing’s guaranteed rent scheme. We provide long-term lease agreements, professional property management, and fixed rental payments for the duration of your agreement, even if your property is temporarily unoccupied.
For many landlords, guaranteed rent offers a simpler, more predictable way to let property. Instead of dealing with tenant management, rent collection, maintenance issues and void periods, you can enjoy the reassurance of knowing your property is professionally managed while your rental income continues to be paid.
With many years of experience working alongside local authorities and housing associations across London, we source suitable accommodation for local families and provide landlords with a dependable, hassle-free letting solution.
If you’re looking for a guaranteed rent scheme you can rely on, we’d be delighted to discuss your property and provide a free, no-obligation rental valuation.
What is Guaranteed Rent?
A guaranteed rent scheme is an alternative to traditional letting that gives landlords the security of a fixed monthly rental income, regardless of whether their property is occupied. Instead of renting directly to individual tenants, you enter into a lease agreement with a guaranteed rent provider, who then takes responsibility for managing the property and arranging suitable occupants.
With City Borough Housing’s guaranteed rent scheme, you’ll receive the same agreed rental payment every month for the duration of your lease.
We manage the day-to-day responsibilities of the tenancy on your behalf, including tenant management, rent collection, routine maintenance, and regular property inspections, allowing you to enjoy a more hands-off approach to letting.
Who is it for?
Guaranteed rent can be an attractive option for a wide range of landlords, including those with busy careers, accidental landlords, overseas property owners, and portfolio investors looking for a more predictable source of rental income.
It’s also well suited to landlords who value long-term stability over the uncertainty that can sometimes come with traditional letting.
Unlike a conventional tenancy, where rental income may be affected by void periods, late payments or ongoing management responsibilities, a guaranteed rent agreement provides greater certainty.
While the agreed rent may differ from the highest achievable market rent, many landlords find the reassurance of fixed monthly payments and professional property management offers significant long-term value and peace of mind.
Why Choose City Borough Housing for Guaranteed Rent?
Guaranteed rent offers more than predictable monthly income. It provides a straightforward way to reduce the time, cost and uncertainty often associated with traditional letting, while giving you the reassurance that your property is being professionally managed.
Here are some of the key benefits of choosing City Borough Housing’s guaranteed rent scheme.
Fixed Monthly Income
You’ll receive the same agreed rental payment every month for the duration of your lease, even if your property is temporarily unoccupied. Reliable rental income makes it easier to budget, plan ahead and manage your property investment with confidence.
No Void Periods
Void periods can have a significant impact on rental income. With our guaranteed rent scheme, your monthly payments continue throughout your agreement, providing greater financial certainty and eliminating the worry of gaps between tenancies.
Professional Management
We take care of the day-to-day management of your property, including tenant management, rent collection, routine maintenance and quarterly property inspections. Our experienced team handles the practical responsibilities, so you don’t have to.
Compliance Support
Landlord responsibilities continue to evolve, and keeping up with changing legislation can be challenging. We’ll guide you through the compliance requirements at the start of your agreement and help ensure your property meets the necessary standards before the tenancy begins.
Less Administration
Managing a rental property often involves responding to tenant queries, arranging repairs, coordinating contractors and dealing with paperwork. Our guaranteed rent scheme removes much of this day-to-day administration, giving you more time to focus on other priorities.
Long-Term Stability
Our flexible lease agreements typically run for between three and seven years, providing dependable rental income and the reassurance of a professionally managed property over the longer term. It’s a practical solution for landlords looking for greater certainty in an evolving rental market.

About usWhy More Landlords Are Choosing Guaranteed Rent
The private rented sector has changed significantly in recent years. From evolving legislation and increased compliance requirements to rising maintenance costs and changing tenant expectations, being a landlord involves more time and responsibility than ever before.
As a result, many landlords are rethinking how they manage their properties. Rather than dealing with the uncertainty of traditional letting, they’re choosing guaranteed rent as a way to achieve reliable income, professional property management and greater peace of mind.
A guaranteed rent agreement removes many of the day-to-day responsibilities of being a landlord. Instead of worrying about void periods, rent collection, tenant queries or routine maintenance, you benefit from a predictable monthly income while your property is professionally managed throughout the lease.
For some landlords, it’s about freeing up valuable time. For others, it’s about reducing financial uncertainty or making property ownership more manageable alongside work, family or retirement.
Whatever your circumstances, guaranteed rent offers a practical alternative to traditional letting, combining long-term stability with the reassurance that your investment is in experienced hands.
At City Borough Housing, we’ve supported landlords across London for many years, helping them enjoy the benefits of guaranteed rent while providing quality homes for local families through our trusted partnerships with local authorities and housing associations.
Is Guaranteed Rent Right For You?
Every landlord’s circumstances are different, and guaranteed rent isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. While many landlords value the certainty and convenience it offers, it’s important to choose the letting arrangement that best suits your priorities and long-term goals.
A guaranteed rent scheme could be the right choice if:
- You’re an accidental landlord looking for a straightforward, professionally managed way to let your property without becoming a full-time landlord.
- You live overseas or away from your property and want the reassurance of fixed rental payments and experienced local property management.
- You’re short on time and would prefer not to deal with tenant enquiries, rent collection, maintenance or the day-to-day administration of managing a tenancy.
- You rely on your rental income to support your retirement or household finances and value the security of predictable monthly payments.
- You own a portfolio of properties and want a more hands-off approach that helps simplify the management of your investments.
Guaranteed Rent May Not Be the Best Option if…
If your main priority is achieving the highest possible market rent at all times, traditional letting may be a better fit.
While guaranteed rent provides dependable monthly income and removes many of the responsibilities of being a landlord, the agreed rent may differ from the maximum rent that could potentially be achieved on the open market.
For many landlords, however, the combination of fixed monthly payments, professional property management and freedom from void periods offers excellent long-term value and peace of mind.
