    See what you save

    A cash deposit locks away weeks of rent for years. Company guarantors can cost a fortune. Husmus keeps your money in your account.

    Your cover

    Two ways to unlock your dream home

    Both protect your landlord during the tenancy. Our Guarantor level protects you too.

    Tenant Shield Deposit

    Deposit-free renting, without the risk

    Replaces your deposit while giving your landlord real protection. Unlike a traditional deposit, claims can be resolved during the tenancy — not saved up for a stressful dispute at move-out.

    Covers up to 2 months' unpaid rent if you can't pay
    Up to £5,000 in accidental property damage cover (pet damage optional)
    Claims can be made during the tenancy, not just the end
    No upfront fees — keep your savings free
    Best for
    Renters who don't want to tie up savings in a deposit — and want honest mistakes handled, not turned into disputes.

    Tenant Shield GuarantorMost chosen

    A rent guarantor, without asking family or friends

    Gives your landlord the security of a full rent guarantor, backed by insurance. If you fall behind through genuine hardship, they're covered and you get breathing room — no eviction pressure while we work it out.

    Everything in Tenant Shield Deposit, included
    Up to 12 months' rent guaranteed, plus 2 months' hardship cover
    Legal & eviction support for your landlord
    No personal guarantor required
    Best for
    Renters who need a guarantor, are new to the UK, self-employed, on benefits — or just want an extra layer of safety.

    How it works

    Approved and covered in three steps

    From profile to proof of cover — most renters are done in a day.

    Step 01

    Build your Husmus profile

    It takes under 10 minutes. We look at your real income and affordability through Open Banking, verify your ID, and assess you as an individual — not a rigid credit & debt position. Fairer for every income type.

    All income counted fairly — salary, self-employed, benefits, pension
    Bank-level, read-only Open Banking — you stay in control

    Step 02

    Choose your cover & see your price

    Pick the Guarantor to replace a personal guarantor entirely, or the Deposit to rent deposit-free. Add pet damage cover if you need it. Your price is tailored to your rent and cover requirements — no jargon, no hidden fees.

    Who it's for

    Built for all renters, even those others turn away

    We look at the whole picture, not a single credit score — so more good renters get a yes.

    Working professionals

    New job, big move or renting solo? Get approved without a guarantor.

    Self-employed & freelance

    We assess income presence and stability — not just a job title.

    On benefits or a pension

    Universal Credit, benefits and pension income all count, fully and fairly.

    New to the UK from the EU?

    No UK credit history or local guarantor? No problem — we've got you.

    Building or repairing credit

    A thin or bruised credit file doesn't tell your whole story. We look deeper.

    Final-year & postgrad students

    Later-stage and postgraduate students welcome. (Not first- or second-years yet.)

    If life happens

    Hit a rough patch? We've genuinely got you.

    If you fall into genuine hardship and can't pay, Husmus pays your landlord directly and gives you up to two months to get back on your feet — debt-free, with no eviction proceedings while we work it out together.

    To be straight with you: this is real insurance for when life knocks you back — not a way to skip rent. If you simply choose not to pay, you won't be covered.

    1
    Life happens
    You lose income or can't work due to illness and can't cover the rent.
    2
    We pay your landlord
    Rent goes straight to them — no awkward conversations, no arrears piling up.
    Two months, debt-free
    Breathing room to recover, with no eviction pressure while you do.

    Inclusive by design

    We're built for everyone including the people traditional referencing routinely turns away.

    Real insurance, not a loan

    FCA-regulated cover underwritten by A-rated insurers — with genuine hardship handled debt-free.

    The pet-friendly edge

    Optional pet damage protection makes it an easy 'yes' to welcome your furry friend.

    ★★★★★

    "I moved to London for work with no UK credit history. Every agent wanted a UK guarantor I didn't have. Husmus approved me in a day — I had the keys that week."

    Priya

    ★★★★★

    "As a freelancer my income is 'complicated' on paper. Husmus actually looked at my bank statements and saw I've always paid rent. Finally, a fair yes."

    Marcus

    ★★★★★

    "I didn't want to lock £1,800 into a deposit for a year. Deposit-free with Husmus meant my savings stayed mine, and my landlord got better protection anyway."
