If a prospective renter doesn't meet those criteria, they should consider finding a guarantor who has a credit score of 700 or higher and an annual income of at least 80 times the monthly rent. For example, if the rent is $2,000 a month, the guarantor would need to make at least $160,000 a year.
If the tenant damages the property in an amount beyond the security deposit, the landlord may pursue the guarantor to cover the remainder. If there is more than one tenant in the home, the guarantor could be responsible for rent arrears and damages by the other tenants.
