Lease Guarantee Agreement
A Lease Guarantee Agreement is a formal document used that ensures a tenant's rent payments by offering a guarantor who backs up the lease. The guarantor agrees that if the tenant defaults, he will pay the tenant's payments.

Purpose
-
Lease Guarantee Agreements are used for people renting an apartment who have bad, little or no credit. Without this type of agreement a person may be denied rental privileges. These agreements are also designed to protect the landlord against default.
Benefits
-
A Lease Guarantee Agreement is beneficial both to a tenant and a landlord. Tenants with no rental history or poor credit sometimes experience trouble when trying to rent an apartment. This agreement benefits the tenant by having a guarantor backing up the tenant and agreeing to pay the rent and late charges if the tenant doesn't. It also benefits the landlord by having a second party agreeing to pay rent and any other applicable charges.
