Hello, and I have a similar problem, well issue with the estate agents. I am a student and have found a flat for June 2009. I have completed all paperwork, put a deposit down, but the estate agent is still insistent on having the guarantor's bank details! My guarantor are my parents and I thought that if I couldn't pay a certain amount, they would contact my guarantor for the payments. Is it correct practice for the landlord and estate agent to request bank sort code and account number of the guarantor if they have my details? Thanks xxx
