I am a guarantor for a family member.
I have recently been receiving a lot of calls from the landlords (it's a company) when they cant get hold of the tenant and its starting to get annoying.
A few weeks ago sa problem arose in the flat which needs repairing ASAP, the tenant (my family member) called the LLs and tried to arrange someone to come and do the repair, the LL have apparently been pretty useless and are only now arranging sorting it out, except they have struggled to get hold of the tenant, apparently she does not answer their calls or return messages and as the repair is an urgent one they are starting to get annoyed about it.
They initially called me to say that they haven't been able to get hold of her, and they need to access the flat to do the repair, I passed on the message and the tenant contacted them and left a message telling them when they could come, but the LLs wanted to arrange a different time, so called me to get the twnant to contact them, as it worked the first time.
It has gotten worse and now they are calling me virtually daily to pass messages to the tenant as she doesn't answer her phone. I understand that the repair is an urgent one, but I don't see how it has anything to do with me.
AIBU to think that they shouldn't be calling me?
I am a guarantor, my responsibility is to ensure that she pays the rent, not to be the LLs messenger.

AIBU - landlords contacting guarantor when they can't get hold of the tenant?
