The questions you cite are relevant and very sensible. If either of you are affronted, look elsewhere.
This is usual procedure, usually nowadays they ask for the guarantor's bank details as well so that they can take money from their accounts if the tenant defaults.
he want's to guarantee payment to see it is certain you must get a guarantee from him you will get what you pay for it works both way but there's nothing in the contract that does that hence the movements in parliament to raise fines for poor and shoddy landlords you must protect yourself just as he does
Landlords are now being asked to ascertain that their tenants are legally entitled to be in UK. That's what the passport number is about.
The other part of the question is merely "is the guarantor a homeowner"?
Pretty basic question really
That's not too much information. In fact, that's not nearly as much as what I ask for. I get an actual copy of the license to validate identity in case I need to pursue legal action later (such as eviction). They're asking for the mortgage information because that is directly related to the guarantor's financial situation and ability to effectively "guarantee you". If it were me, I'd be asking for proof of income, too.
That is not much. He is asking for you to identify yourself, no big deal. He is asking your guaranteer if they can afford to guarantee you or not, surely you would expect that.
So what is your question?
I'm a student looking for a place to rent
In the tenancy application it is asking for both me and the guarantor to provide a passport number, driving licence number and if the guarantor owns a property, what is it current value and if if it still in mortgage.
