Rent guarantee service
Rent guarantee is a service where Three A acts as a guarantor and pays the rent to the property owner or rent management company on your behalf in the event of rent arrears or other issues.
What is a certified rent guarantee company?
A certified rent guarantee provider is a rent guarantee system that began in October 2025.
The purpose is to ensure the proper operation of the rent guarantee system and to enable people who have difficulty finding housing, such as foreigners, single people over 60, single mothers, former inmates, low-income individuals, and those in financial distress, to smoothly move into rental housing.
