The UK Renting Problem for International Students

You've been accepted to a UK university. You've got your visa. But when you try to rent a flat, landlords ask for a UK-based guarantor earning 3x the annual rent.

As an international student, you probably don't know anyone in the UK who qualifies. And without a UK credit history, traditional referencing fails you too.

CasaPay fixes this. We provide rent guarantee using your student status, so you can rent like any UK resident.
