Alaska Guaranty or Guarantee of Payment of Rent
Overview of this form
The Guaranty or Guarantee of Payment of Rent is a legal agreement that ensures the landlord will receive rent payments, even if the tenant is unable to pay. This form outlines the responsibilities of the guarantor, who agrees to cover the rent if the tenant defaults. Unlike a lease agreement, this form specifically focuses on the guarantor's obligation to pay in case of the tenant's failure to meet their rental payment obligations.
What’s included in this form
- Guarantor's address and details to establish their identity.
- Tenant's information to clarify who is being guaranteed.
- Landlord's details to identify the party receiving payments.
- Terms specifying when the guarantor must make payments.
- Signature lines for both the guarantor and the landlord, including dates.
When to use this form

Situations such as students renting an apartment, individuals with unstable jobs, or first-time renters may all warrant the use of this guaranty.

FAQ
Grace periods are quite common, usually varying between three and five days. Grace periods provide tenants extra time to pay rent before the landlord can legally charge a late fee.
Grace periods are quite common, usually varying between three and five days. Grace periods provide tenants extra time to pay rent before the landlord can legally charge a late fee.
Your Landlord is legally obligated to return your deposit within 10 days of you both agreeing how much you'll get back (after the tenancy has ended, of course).
A five day grace period means that rent due on the 1st wouldn't get a late fee until the 6th. However, this does not mean that rent is actually due on the 5th but that's the message that is inadvertently conveyed. Rent is due on the due date please don't make a habit out of paying within the grace period.
A guarantor acts as a guarantee that the rent gets paid during a situation when the tenant can't meet their financial commitment. The guarantor is as responsible for the lease as the tenant.
Alaska state law limits how much a landlord can charge for a security deposit (two months' rent, unless the monthly rent exceeds $2,000), when it must be returned (within 14 days after a tenant moves if the tenant has given proper notice to end the tenancy or 30 days if the tenant has not), and sets other restrictions
Late fees Most rental agreements include a late fee clause. You might have to pay a late fee if you're even a few minutes past the due date. Or, you might have a grace period of a day or two.If you pay on the second, you won't have to pay a late fee, but your payment may still be flagged as a late payment.
If your deposit didn't need to be protected and your landlord refuses to give it back, you might have to take them to court.You'll need to take your landlord to the small claims court to get your money back.
Although landlords won't fine tenants during 'grace periods', the payment of the rent is still considered legally delinquent. Normally, rent should be paid on or before the established due date. This is a clause that is included in all lease agreements.
