Guaranteed Rent & Property Management

Two ways to let us look after your property.

Abide & Dwell either rents your property directly from you on a fixed-term agreement — paying you a set rent every month — or manages it professionally on your behalf as serviced accommodation. Whichever suits you, we handle the day-to-day and care for the property as if it were our own.

Two arrangements

Choose the arrangement that suits your property.

Some landlords want certainty above all else; others prefer to keep the upside and hand over the workload. We offer both — and we'll tell you honestly which we think fits your property.

Option one

Guaranteed rent

We rent your property directly from you on a fixed-term company agreement and pay you a set rent every month — occupied or not. No fees, no voids, no day-to-day.

  • Fixed rent paid on the same date each month
  • Void periods and arrears carried by us
  • Furnishing and set-up funded by us
  • No management fees or commission

Option two

Managed arrangement

You keep the income and we run the property for you as serviced accommodation — clients, cleaning, pricing, maintenance and reporting — for a simple management fee.

  • You retain ownership of the income
  • Client vetting and all communications handled
  • Weekly hospitality-grade cleaning arranged
  • Monthly performance and condition reports

How it works

Professionally run stays — however you choose to work with us.

Your property is used for professionally managed, vetted stays — business travellers, contractors, relocation clients and short-term visitors. Under a guaranteed rent agreement we become your tenant and pay you a fixed rent; under a managed arrangement you keep the income and we run everything on your behalf. Either way, you keep ownership and we carry the day-to-day.

Certainty or upside

Take a fixed rent every month under a company agreement, or keep the income and let us manage the property for you.

No tenant headaches

Vetted clients, professional agreements and no arrears chasing — under either arrangement.

Property cared for

Weekly hospitality-grade cleaning, routine inspections and prompt upkeep.

Regular communication

A dedicated point of contact and monthly reports on your property.

Who we partner with

Partnerships, not transactions.

We work with landlords who would rather receive a dependable monthly rent, or keep the income while someone experienced runs the property — building a long-term arrangement around their goals.

  • Own apartments or houses
  • Have vacant or soon-to-be vacant properties
  • Want a guaranteed rent with no void periods
  • Would rather keep the income and hand over the workload
  • Are tired of tenant issues, arrears and agent fees
  • Want experienced people looking after their investment

Testimonials

What landlords say about working with us.

"The rent arrives on the same date every month without fail. No agent fees, no arrears, no phone calls at 9pm — it's the easiest my flat has ever been to own."
James H.
Landlord, Manchester
"They furnished the property themselves and took it on for three years. I stopped worrying about void periods completely — that's their problem now, not mine."
Priya S.
Landlord, Salford
"The weekly cleans are hospitality standard and the house has stayed in beautiful condition. Honestly better cared for than when I managed it myself."

FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

Can't see your question? Get in touch — we're happy to help.

  • With guaranteed rent we become your tenant on a company let agreement and pay you a fixed rent every month, whatever the occupancy. With a managed arrangement you keep the income the property generates and we run it for you for a management fee. Both include client vetting, weekly cleaning, maintenance coordination and monthly reporting.

  • It depends on your priorities. Guaranteed rent suits landlords who value certainty and a completely hands-off arrangement. A managed arrangement suits landlords who would rather keep the upside and are comfortable with income varying month to month. We'll give you an honest recommendation after seeing the property.

  • We sign a company let agreement with you and become your tenant. You receive a fixed rent each month for the length of the term, and we use the property for professionally managed, vetted stays. You remain the owner throughout.

  • Under a guaranteed rent agreement, yes — your rent is agreed up front and paid every month regardless of occupancy. Under a managed arrangement, your income reflects what the property actually earns.

  • On a guaranteed rent agreement there are no fees at all — nothing is deducted from your rent. On a managed arrangement we charge a clear, agreed management fee and nothing hidden on top.

  • On a guaranteed rent agreement we furnish and set up the property at our own cost. On a managed arrangement we'll guide you through exactly what's needed and can arrange it for you.

  • On a guaranteed rent agreement we cover weekly hospitality-grade cleaning, utilities, consumables and day-to-day upkeep. On a managed arrangement these are running costs of the property, and we arrange and oversee everything on your behalf. Structural works and the landlord's legal obligations remain with you in both cases.

  • Guaranteed rent agreements typically run three to five years with a break clause for peace of mind on both sides. Managed arrangements are more flexible and reviewed with you regularly.

  • The same or better. We carry out routine inspections, log condition at every clean and hand the property back at the end of the term in good order.

  • Vetted business travellers, contractors, relocation clients and short-term visitors. Every client is checked and all communication is handled by our team.
