About this Form
A residential lease guaranty is a legally binding agreement in which one person (the guarantor) agrees to be held financially responsible for the rental payments of another person (the tenant) if the tenant fails to make those payments. Similarly, if the tenant causes damage to the rental property, the landlord can seek compensation from the guarantor. Another reason a landlord might require a guarantor is if the tenant has a poor credit history or lacks sufficient income to qualify for the rental on their own. In such cases, the landlord may view the presence of a guarantor as a sign of financial stability and reliability and may be more likely to approve the tenant's application.
Overall, requiring a tenant to have a guarantor can reduce the risk for the landlord and provide a greater level of security for the rental property. It may also enable a tenant to gain access to a desirable home that might otherwise be inaccessible.
