Very easy and efficient service to secure a renters guarantee. I have completed the process online in less than 10 minutes. I received the approval within 2 hours. Only issue, they only take a yearly upfront payment versus monthly.

Great application, easy to use and quick customer service. Just not very clear about certain specific questions which renders it confusing at some point, and might take more time to get fixed later if answered wrong.
It's also a little expensive!
However this system gave me the opportunity to rent an apartment even having a short limited contract with my company, something almost impossible in France.

Using SmartGarant to secure my accommodation in France was an incredibly smooth experience. The sign-up process was very easy, and every step of the application was clearly outlined.
What I appreciated most was their exceptional communication. They accommodated us perfectly by providing all email correspondence in both English and French. Every time I wrote to them with a question, they answered quickly and were always there to support me through the process. I am very grateful for their help and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing a rental guarantor in France!

Smart Garant made the process of securing my new apartment in Paris incredibly easy, especially as an American navigating the French rental system. I received approval the same day, and the entire process was smooth, straightforward, and stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable guarantor service!

I am sharing my experience to warn other tenants — especially international students — about SmartGarant’s automatic renewal and billing practices.
At the end of my initial guarantee period in April 2026, SmartGarant repeatedly attempted to automatically charge me €286 for an additional full year of coverage, despite the fact that I was not planning to remain in the residence for another year.
When I contacted customer service to explain the situation, I was told that I would still need to pay for the full year upfront and then request a refund for unused months of coverage. The refund would also be subject to a mandatory €60 fee.
After several unsuccessful exchanges with customer service, I directly contacted the residence manager who agreed that renewing the guarantee was unnecessary in my situation and contacted SmartGarant herself to confirm my departure date and request that the renewal be cancelled.
Despite this SmartGarant’s system continued attempting to debit €286 from my account for the following three days.
Only after I contacted customer service again to explicitly request cancellation of the €286 charge did SmartGarant stop the annual renewal attempts and issue a prorated invoice of €23.85 for May 2026.
Before contacting SignalConso, I made several attempts to resolve the issue directly with SmartGarant explaining that:
• the residence manager had explicitly agreed by email that renewing the guarantee was unnecessary,
• SmartGarant had been informed that the lease was ending,
• the rent for May had already been fully paid before the start of the new guarantee period, leaving no financial risk to cover.
Despite this, SmartGarant continued demanding payment and warned that the case would be referred to their recovery services if I refused to pay the €23.85 invoice. Only at that point did I decide to report the matter through SignalConso.
Although SmartGarant argues that the lease formally remained active until May 31, I found the overall experience unnecessarily difficult and aggressive for such a situation.
All statements above are supported by written email exchanges and evidence.
--- UPDATE in reply to SmartGarant's response ---
- The €286 Charge: While you state the annual renewal was cancelled by your teams, it is important to note that several payment attempts for this amount were made before the issue was resolved, forcing me to block the payment method to prevent the charge from being processed.
- The Absence of Financial Risk: Relying on contractual technicalities to enforce a charge for May 2026 is unreasonable, especially since neither a contract renewal nor an extension was ever requested. A financial guarantee exists solely to mitigate risk for the landlord. Given that the rent had already been paid in full in advance and the residence manager formally confirmed that your service was not required, there was zero financial risk left to cover. Insisting on payment under these circumstances demonstrates a lack of operational flexibility.
-It is difficult to reconcile your public invitation to a "constructive and amicable" discussion with the formal notifications I received privately, which warned of recovery services over a €23.85 balance.
