Rental guarantee throughout the EU

If you’re renting an apartment while studying, your landlord might ask you for a deposit in order to protect themselves against any risk of damage to their property.

We can provide you with a full rental guarantee for property in Luxembourg or the European Union in a blocked account, so that you don’t have to pay a deposit.

This way, if the owner claims compensation from you, you’ll only owe the actual amount of the repairs, up to the maximum amount in the blocked account.

In addition to this basic offer, you can also add optional free Visa Classic credit card ⁽¹⁾ for all online and international purchases.
