What is Property Guardianship and How Does it Work?

In recent
times, property guardianship has risen in popularity. The premise behind this
concept is to take care of a property as a live-in tenant for reduced rent.

otherwise remain unoccupied. However, instead of leaving the property empty,
the owner deems it fit to find a “guardian” at a lower cost.

Another
word used for these individuals would be “legal squatters,” and it is
often a great way to find a place to live. To make sure this is official, the
guardian is provided with appropriate licencing for access to the property.
They will also receive a reduced amount to rent that part of the property.
While the owner gets the opportunity to pocket a monthly income while making
sure illegal squatters don’t try living in the property because its unoccupied.
