I have completed reference back from guarantor, still awaiting references for prospective tenants. As I already know a guarantor is needed do I wait for their references, would it be unwise to proceed without them. type or paste code here ```auto ``` ---

It is very odd that people think a guarantor means much. If tenant does not pay, what do you think are the chances a guarantor will pay thousands of pounds? Nearly zero. If you take them to court and they have expenses of their own, you will get nothing except maybe give them a CCJ. If someone has good income, are a solid citizen, just rent to them. ---

I agree with Muzeyin. People set too much store by guarantee agreements, which often turn out to be anything but, when they should be focusing on the tenants ability to pay. ---

Always get the full references. You may find something that a guarantor would not cover. For example Tenant destroyed a previous property. I’m sure yours will be fine but best to check first. ---
