A lease guarantor form is a document that involves a third party, known as a guarantor, who agrees to take on the financial obligations of a lease agreement if the tenant fails to do so.
Typically, rent guarantors are parents, relatives or close friends of the tenant. To qualify as a guarantor, you will need to provide the landlord with proof of income (such as paystubs), bank statements, and your Social Security number for a credit and background check.
You can usually be a guarantor if: You are over 21 years old. You have a good credit history. You have a separate bank account to the borrower.
A guarantor's form should include a space to fill in the home address, work address, phone number, and email address. The contact details are what will be used to contact the guarantor in the future if the principal fails to meet agreement terms. This is a very important feature of the guarantor's form.
Does a lease guarantor form need to be notarized? In short, yes. If a landlord requests a lease guarantor form as part of your application for a home, they oftentimes will ask that it be notarized.
