BREAK FREE FROM RENT PRISON
Tired of sleeping on your mate's couch? Sick of sharing a kitchen with 5 strangers who steal your milk? Still trapped in your childhood bedroom?
" The system isn't working! You got turned down because an algortythm said you coudn't afford the rent - the same rent you've been paying for 2 years."
THE INJUSTICE OF RENT PRISON
The Privilege Pass
Your mum has to risk the family home for you to rent a one-bed in Didsbury. Moving out was meant to mean independence
The Sofa Sentence
28 and still on your mate's sofa? That's not hospitality - that's a life sentence with no parole in sight.
The Parental Probation
Your childhood bedroom at 30 isn't nostalgia - it's the system locking you up while you should be getting the keys to your first home.
The Parental Probation
Landlords want security - with us as your guarantor, you get a gold-plated insurer backed guarantee. That's more reliable than an IOU from Auntie Pauline - even if she does own a caravan in Blackpool
YOUR PRISON BREAK PLAN
The Rent Prison Guarantee
We can be your guarantor if you are self-employed, or if you missed a catalogue payment in 2011. We use up to date systems to check you out.
No more sofa-surfing at 30
No need to explain your family's finances to strangers
Finally get your independence - leave home without a handout

PRISON BREAK STORIES
Jamie, 29
Former sofa prisoner
"I was on my mate's couch so long I had a permanent dent. Then I discovered Rent Prison. Now I've got my own place - and my mate's got his living room back."
Sarah, 31
Former HMO inmate
"I lived with a bunch of weirdos who stole my food and played death metal at 3am. I didnt knoow anyone earning £80k to act as muy co-signer but Rent Prison backed my application and I have place of my own"
Dave, 27
Former parental probationer
"My childhood bedroom still had my One Direction posters. The letting agent offered to buy one of my kidneys so I could pay 6 months in advabce but I avoided this surgey when Rent Prison accepted me."
Aisha, 25
Former bunk bed convict
"I shared a dinghy room with my 45-year-old sister. Our parents are no longer with us. They moved to Torremelinos so don't qualify as UK guarantors. Rent Prison saved the day. Need to rescue my sister now, she's still there"
INTERROGATION ROOM (FAQ)
Why should I choose you?
Other services reject:
-
We won't ask you for a co-signer
-
We give cashback for ontime payers
We use up to date systems to assess your application and can accept you even if you dont have a credit record
We look at whether YOU can pay the rent - not whether your grandma owns a castle.
What's the catch?
No catch. Just a fee based on your rent and personal circumstances, payable on installments subject to status. It works out about the same price as a daily takeaway coffee
We make money when landlords don't claim, so we vet properly.
Do you just approve anyone then?
Absolutelty not. We have our own criteria, and that may be different to other companies, but it doesn't mean we are less careful. We looked at studies done by reliable organisations and used findings to assess applications.
-
It may help us to assess people who don't have much credit history
-
It may help us to assess people who work for themselves
-
It may help us assess applicants from overseas
The goal is to approve responsible tenants who are going to pay their rent.
When are you launching?
We're opening the cells soon. Join the waitlist now and we'll email you the second we launch.

Can I help smash the system?
Hell yes:
-
Share this page (#RentPrison)
-
Tell your sofa-surfing mates
When we launch, leave reviews everywhere
The more noise we make, the more landlords will have to accept that guarantors shouldn't be a class test.
