FAQ
In many cases, a business owner can file a consumer bankruptcy to discharge (wipe out) the personal guarantee. For clarity, a "consumer bankruptcy" means the business owner must file bankruptcy personally, not put the business in bankruptcy, to erase the personal guarantee.
Can you get out of a personal guarantee? Following on from above, the question of whether you can get out of a personal guarantee is, unsurprisingly, a common one. However, the answer is no. Entering into a personal guarantee is to be tightly bound by a contract.
You may be able to negotiate your own exit terms by offering the landlord a deal. There is no guarantee that it will be accepted, however, and it might be a costly process. This involves finding a new tenant to take over your lease. The landlord will want to impose restrictions and make sure of their suitability.
Your personal guarantee may be unenforceable due to circumstances outside of your contract. This may include being misled by the creditor, if a key fact was omitted from the contract, co-guarantor issues, suspicions of fraud, or if the facility provided by the bank changed significantly since you signed the guarantee.
Can a Commercial Lease Be Terminated Early? Your business is expanding and needs more space. You need less space due to downsizing. The landlord is failing to meet expectations. You're consolidating your portfolio through a merger or acquisition.
But by this means, if the incoming tenant fails to meet its obligations under the lease, the landlord can pursue the outgoing tenant under the AGA. If in turn the outgoing tenant fails to then meet their guarantee obligations under the AGA, then the landlord can pursue the outgoing tenant's guarantor under the GAGA.
Under the lease, the tenant may be required to provide an AGA, however where a lease does not specify and if reasonable in the circumstances, the landlord may request the tenant provide an AGA as a condition of the landlord's consent.
