Your guarantor can be your parents, spouse, a relative, a scholarship agency, or even your employer if they are sponsoring your studies. Generally, a guarantor should be someone who is financially stable, trustworthy, and willing to take responsibility for your financial obligations if needed.
However, as a guarantor, your financial liability is identical to that of the borrower or tenant. If they fail to meet their obligations, creditors can pursue you directly for the debt. This can lead to lawsuits, credit damage, and financial loss, all because you agreed to help someone out.
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.
Important: Agreeing to be a guarantor and providing a guarantee involves significant financial risk, which could result in you losing your property (it could be your family home) and/or serious monetary loss.

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.
