A guarantor agreement is an agreement of a third party, called a guarantor, to provide assurance of payment in the event the party involved in the transaction fails to live up to their end of the bargain. They are common in real estate and financial transactions.
As with a co-signer, the risks lie primarily with the guarantor. If you're a guarantor, you might have to shoulder a financial burden on behalf of the borrower, which can be a challenge even for someone with high credit scores. Still, you'll have the satisfaction of enabling a loved one's access to important credit.
If you are a guarantor and no longer wish to be, you must obtain the consent or agreement from the landlord before you will be released from your liabilities, which, if the rent is in arrears, the landlord is unlikely to agree to.
Generally, only escrow, title, or mortgage companies submit a lien or business transfer payoff request.
