Guaranteed rent for landlords
Receive a fixed monthly rent from VividSpaces whether or not your property is occupied. Our company is named on the lease, no management or letting fees come out of what you are paid, and the bills and Council Tax stop being yours as well.

What guaranteed rent actually is
An arrangement, not a product. The distinction matters, because it is what makes the figure fixed.
Guaranteed rent is an arrangement where a landlord receives a fixed monthly payment from VividSpaces on an agreed date, whether or not the property is currently occupied. Instead of chasing occupants, covering void periods, or handling emergency repairs yourself, you hand day-to-day management to our ICO and PRS registered team.
We source and vet families through local authority partnerships, coordinate inspections and maintenance, and absorb the income risk of gaps between tenancies. Agreements typically run three to five years, which is what gives the arrangement its certainty on both sides.
Your agreement is with our company, not with the family living there. That is the whole mechanism.
What the arrangement covers
- The same payment every month, occupied or not
- All maintenance and repairs included at no cost to you
- Regular inspections with clear written reporting
- Full occupant management and compliance support
The question everyone asks second
How is your rent calculated?
Every property is assessed individually on location, condition, size and local demand.
Many guaranteed rent providers pay below market rent to cover their margin. We generally do not need to. Because there are no agency or management fees to deduct, VividSpaces can often offer a rate at or above open-market rent, and you keep the whole of it.
The exact figure depends on your property, so we do not quote one before seeing it. The assessment is free, carries no obligation, and produces a number in writing that is fixed from that point.
What you will not see
- No management fee
- No letting or re-let fee
- No deduction for void months
- No charge for repairs we coordinate
The rate we agree is the amount that reaches your account.
The part landlords do not expect
What else stops being yours
The fixed figure is the headline. What surprises most landlords is everything that quietly stops arriving alongside it.
We take on
- Utility bills: electricity, gas, water, sewage and broadband
- Council Tax for the length of the agreement
- The interior kept in good repair, fair wear and tear excepted
- Gardens, lawns, gutters and downpipes kept in order
- The washing machine and fridge-freezer kept in working order
- Minor internal repairs, at our cost
Bills and Council Tax are often paid directly by the family living in the property. Where they are not, they come out of the rent or revenue the property generates. Either way they stop reaching you, and your fixed figure is never touched by them.
Stays with you
- The structure, roof, foundations and exterior
- The boiler and central heating system
- Major electrics, plumbing and drainage
- Buildings insurance and any mortgage on the property
At the end of the agreement the property comes back to you in the condition recorded in the inventory at the start, fair wear and tear excepted.
Why landlords come to us
What a year without an agreement looks like
These are the three things landlords tell us cost them most, and each one is a risk we take on rather than manage around.
- Void Periods
- Empty properties mean zero income while mortgage and costs continue.
- Late Rent
- Chasing payments and dealing with arrears eats into your returns.
- Day-to-day Hassle
- Maintenance calls, complaints, and compliance take hours every month.
A worked example
One figure, twelve times
The same amount on the same date every month, with nothing taken out of it along the way.
Guaranteed rent
1,900 pounds a month
Fixed, £22,800 across the year
That figure does not move if the property sits empty between families, if a repair is needed, or if a payment from elsewhere runs late. It does not shrink by a management fee, and there is no re-let charge waiting at the end of a tenancy.
Whatever we agree is what arrives, every month, for the length of the agreement.
An example figure, not a quote and not an offer. The figure shown is the level of a current agreement, not a promise of £1,900 for your property. Every property is priced individually and your figure is agreed in writing after we visit.

Landlord FAQ
If yours is not here, ask us directly. We would rather answer it before you sign than after.
We assess your property's location, condition, size, and local rental market to provide a fair, fixed monthly payment. Payments are made on the agreed date each month, with clear terms and no hidden fees.
Not necessarily. Many guaranteed rent providers pay below market rent to cover their fees. VividSpaces has no agency or management fees, so we can often offer a rate at or above open-market rent, while you still get fixed payments, no voids, and full management included.
No. Rent-to-rent is typically a short-term, opportunistic arrangement between a landlord and an individual or small operator. VividSpaces offers long-term guaranteed rent agreements (3 to 5 years), is ICO registered and a Property Redress Scheme member, and is backed by trusted local authority partnerships, a more regulated, stable arrangement.
No. Rent guarantee insurance is a policy you buy that pays out if a tenant you manage yourself stops paying. Guaranteed rent is different: VividSpaces takes on the property directly, pays you a fixed rent every month regardless of occupancy, and handles all management and maintenance. You are not managing tenants or making an insurance claim.
Yes. That is the core of guaranteed rent: you receive the same agreed payment on the same date every month, even when the property is between occupants. VividSpaces absorbs the void risk, not you.
No. Our guaranteed rent service has no agency or management fees and no hidden charges. You receive the full agreed amount each month, with maintenance, cleaning, and management included.

You will not find landlord reviews on this site. We would rather show you nothing than show you something we invented. Ask us on the call and we will put you on the phone with a landlord we already work with, so you can ask them instead.
