Are you interested in a unique living arrangement that also helps protect vacant properties? Becoming a property guardian with Global Guardians could be the perfect fit for you. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps and benefits of joining this innovative program.
What is a Property Guardian?
A property guardian is an individual who temporarily resides in a vacant property owned by a landlord or property management company. This arrangement benefits both parties: the guardian gains affordable accommodation, while the property owner gains security and maintenance of their vacant space.

You can view as many properties as are available, and once you're booked, head to the home page to upload all of the neccesary documents for vetting.
