Guarantor’s Liabilities

  • Unpaid Rent – Guarantors must ensure that rent is paid in its entirety and on time if the tenant neglects this responsibility.
  • Property Damage – If the tenant damages the rental unit and doesn’t fix the issue, the guarantor will be liable for covering the expenses.
  • Legal Disputes (eviction) – If the landlord files a lawsuit against the tenant due to lease violations, and the tenant is unable to cover the related costs or penalties, the guarantor may be pursued for payment.
