What we do
We remove the biggest obstacle to renting abroad.
Most landlords and letting agents require a guarantor based in the country — someone who covers the rent if something goes wrong. Without local family or credit history, that's out of reach for most international students. Ehome becomes that guarantor for you, backed by a clear agreement and one transparent fee.

FAQ
Common questions.
A guarantor promises the landlord that the rent will be paid, and covers it if the tenant cannot. UK landlords and letting agents almost always require a guarantor based in the UK — which most international students simply can't provide. Ehome acts as that UK-based guarantor for you, so landlords are willing to say yes.
We work with international students renting in the UK, whether you're moving into private housing or student accommodation. Share your course, your property, and your tenancy details, and we'll assess your application — usually within 48 hours.
Your fee is based on your annual rent and shown clearly before you commit — no hidden charges. Use the estimator on this page for an instant guide, or contact us for an exact quote for your tenancy.
Most applications are assessed within 48 hours once we have your documents. If you're on a tight deadline, tell us — priority handling is available.
Typically your passport or national ID, proof of study (university offer, CAS, or student ID), your tenancy or property details, and financial evidence — either yours or your sponsor's. We'll give you a clear checklist when you apply.
Yes — this is common. Many of our students are supported by a parent or family member in China. We can review your sponsor as part of your application, and we support your family in Chinese throughout.
No. You don't need a UK guarantor, a UK credit history, or a UK relative. That's exactly the gap Ehome fills.
We collect only what we need to make a fair decision, always with your consent, and handle it securely and confidentially. Ehome is registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
We work across common student tenancy types, including shared houses and student accommodation. If you're unsure whether your tenancy qualifies, just ask — we'll tell you honestly.
We'll explain why wherever we can, and where possible suggest what might help. Not every application can be approved, but we aim to be clear and quick either way.
