Legal help, services and support for private residential landlords
It’s often a good idea to take a guarantee for a tenant – this is commonly done for example for student tenants and for company lets.
On our old Landlord Law site there were two options – using a tenancy agreement with a guarantee included or using the separate guarantee deed.
Although if your guarantor was worried about their liability we did also have a draft ‘guarantor friendly’ version of the guarantee. Most landlords, however, were unhappy about using this as they could end up out of pocket if the person responsible for damage could not be ascertained.
However if you trusted the tenant and guarantor and maybe also if the guarantor flatly refused to sign the standard form, it was useful to have the guarantor friendly option available.
On this site, there are now even more options for you:
