For New York City apartments, landlords usually only accept guarantors that live in the city or the surrounding Tri-state area so they can sign an original copy of the lease. If this isn't the case, like for many students, low-income individuals, or international workers, you may need to use an institutional guarantor.
You can search for properties that already work with us at by typing a city or zip code into the "Your Next Building Address" field. Buildings that appear in the drop-down accept TheGuarantors.
In most cases, guarantors will fill out the same application as a full lessee. The difference being that some landlords require only a credit screening and not the full criminal + eviction history check for the guarantor.
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.
Typically, a Guarantor Agreement is appended to the end of a lease agreement as an addendum. If, for whatever reason, you need to add a guarantor to a lease that has already been signed, be sure to have all tenants sign the agreement as well as the guarantor.
Introduce yourself and state your relationship to the person you're guaranteeing. State what you will guarantee in your own words (like co-signing a lease). Explain why the guarantor letter may be needed in the first place. End the letter with a concise, detailed summary of what you're promising.
To fill out the Guarantor's form, start by providing your personal information clearly and accurately. Next, ensure that you understand the implications of being a guarantor before signing. Finally, submit the completed form along with the necessary attachments such as ID copies.
Simply becoming a guarantor will generally not impact your credit reports and credit scores.
In order to qualify, your guarantor must have two things. First, they should have an excellent credit score. This means that their credit score should be 750 or higher. Second, they must make 80 times the monthly rent annually.
