Who pays for Padder Guarantor?
Padder Guarantor is paid for by the tenant, not the landlord.
Here’s how it works:
-
Tenants pay a fee to Padder in exchange for Padder acting as their lease guarantor.
-
The fee amount varies based on the tenant’s credit risk, income profile, and the coverage selected, but typically ranges from 25% to 130% of one month's rent per lease (not per tenant—so roommates can share the cost).
-
Landlords incur no cost and receive protection against rent loss, lease breaks, and vacancy during re-leasing.
This model allows landlords to reduce screening friction and lease to a broader pool of renters, while tenants gain access to homes they otherwise wouldn’t qualify for.
