Process

How guaranteed rent works

  1. 01

    Valuation

    We view the property and agree a fixed monthly rent based on location, condition and the short-let income we expect to generate.

  2. 02

    Agreement

    We sign a company let for 1–5 years. Zen Living becomes the tenant; you are paid every month whether the property is occupied or not.

  3. 03

    Set-up

    Any refurbishment we agree is done at our cost, then the property is furnished, photographed and listed.

  4. 04

    We run it

    Guests, cleaning, maintenance, bills and reporting are all ours. You receive a monthly statement.

  5. 05

    Hand-back

    At the end of the term the property is returned to you in a maintained condition, with the option to renew.

FAQ

Guaranteed rent FAQs

Is the rent really guaranteed?

Yes. Zen Living is your tenant under a company let; the rent is a contractual obligation on us, paid monthly regardless of occupancy.

How is the rent set?

From a viewing and our forecast of the property’s short-let income. We take the occupancy risk, and the figure is fixed for the term.

Who pays the bills?

We do. We become the tenant and take over the bills for the term of the agreement.

What about damage or wear and tear?

We maintain the property to a high standard throughout the term and return it in a maintained condition; guest damage is our responsibility, not yours.

Do you still take the property if it needs work?

Often yes — we can carry out an agreed refurbishment (carpets, flooring, walls) at our cost as part of the agreement.
