Complete our form to obtain your rental guarantee in just a few hours. You take out a rental financial guarantee with our guarantee fund to cover the financial commitments of the rental lease.
You don’t block any money, because we work like a bank guarantee. We vouch for your solvency to the landlord, so you don’t have to replenish the security deposit – you just pay the security deposit fee each year. Our guarantee ensures that no money is tied up for the duration of the rental lease.

The tenant applies for a guarantor online. The lessor receives the guarantee certificate the same day.

What is the online rental guarantee on garantie.be?
It is now possible to obtain a rental guarantee online. The rental deposit contract is taken out online, and the process is 100% digital.
The lessee signs an online guarantee contract with the financial company GARANTIR (publisher of the garantie.be website). If GARANTIR agrees to act as guarantor, it sends the Rental Guarantee Certificate to the lessor by e-mail.
The online rental deposit contract application process is entirely online. Tenants can track the progress of their deposit application in their customer account on garantie.be.
How does an online rental guarantee work?
A rental guarantee taken out online works in the same way as a rental guarantee taken out in a bank branch. Taking out a rental guarantee online does not change the basic rules of operation.
The guarantee commitment to the lessor can only be extinguished with the lessor’s agreement.
The tenant does not block funds to sign the rental lease, we guarantee the amount and charge an annual fee for our guarantee. The tenant doesn’t replenish the amount, just pays the deposit fee each year.
How much does garantie.be charge for a surety?
GARANTIR guarantees the financial commitments of the lease on behalf of the tenant. The amount of the guarantee fee is proportional to the amount of the rental guarantee: The annual guarantee fee represents 6% of the amount of the rental guarantee, with a minimum amount of €96 per year.
For a rental guarantee of €2,000, the tenant will pay €10 per month in security deposit fees (paid annually) so that we can guarantee the landlord €2,000 of solvency. The tenant can cancel the deposit at any time by blocking the €2,000 rental guarantee with a bank and obtaining the landlord’s agreement.
How much does an online rental guarantee cost?
Subscribing online does not change the legal rules governing the amount of the rental guarantee. The maximum rental guarantee is set by the Rent Act and the Housing Code of each of Belgium’s three administrative regions. For further information, please consult our pages on :
In Brussels and Wallonia, the landlord will usually ask for 2 months from rental guarantee, as is the maximum allowed by law in the case of a guarantee constituted by funds blocked by the tenant.
How long does it take to obtain an online rental guarantee?
The rental guarantee must be set up before signing the lease for a property. The rental guarantee certificate is produced by the bank, or any other organization responsible for certifying the guarantees provided by the tenant. The lease contract is signed by the parties once the rental guarantee has been set up and the inventory of fixtures and fittings has been completed.
With an online rental guarantee signed on garantie.be, the rental guarantee certificate is issued immediately after validation of the tenant’s request. This means that the rental guarantee can be obtained in just a few hours. The certificate is sent directly to the lessor of the rental property.
When is the rental guarantee payable?
With an online rental guarantee subscription on garantie.be, the tenant does not pay the amount of the rental guarantee. GARANTIR (a financial security company) acts as guarantor for the tenant vis-à-vis the lessor, without the tenant blocking the guarantee funds of the lease. On the other hand, the lessee pays annual financial charges linked to the existence of this rental guarantee.
