Do I need to pay a deposit to my landlord as well as a guarantor?

The fee that RentGuarantor charge is for a guarantee that protects you, as well as your landlord, should anything go wrong in terms of paying the rent. The deposit the landlord may charge will be for any damage and repairs to the property.

You will need to pay the deposit to your Landlord, RentGuarantor does not pay this for you.
