Tenant Loans

Tenant Loans

Tenant Loans are generally available to people who do not own their own property & are just tenants in the property where they live.

So not being able to provide a property as collateral for a loan does not necessarily mean that you don’t have any other options for loan funding as this is the exactly situation where you can apply for a tenant loan.

As the the credit is being given without collateral this also means that the loan, is in effect, becomes an unsecured loan.
