Can't get a guarantor for student accommodation

[EddyF]

Sorry probably wrong place to post. Has anyone been through this? Niece has been aacepted at a university outside London. Missed out on student accommodation provided by the university so has a few viewings from estate agents. She's just received an email from one confirming the viewing but also states "all students need a guarantor.

There is absolutely no one in the immediate family that can help with this.

Is there a way to get around this issue? rent will be paid by maintenance from SL.

Thanks

Don’t rent via an estate agent. Use Studentspareroom.com and find an individual landlord who won’t charge fees and won’t ask for a guarantor. Not all of them do.
