Oregon Guaranty or Guarantee of Payment of Rent
What is this form?
The Guaranty or Guarantee of Payment of Rent is a legal agreement between a guarantor and a landlord. This form ensures that the guarantor will pay the rent if the tenant is unable to do so. It is distinct from other lease agreements by focusing specifically on the payment obligations of the guarantor in relation to the tenant's lease. This contract details the terms of the agreement and explains under what circumstances the guarantorâs payment would be required.
Key parts of this document
- Guarantor's name and address: Specifies who will assume the payment responsibility.
- Tenant's name: Clearly identifies the individual whose rent payments are being guaranteed.
- Rent payment details: Outlines the rent amount and payment schedule agreed upon between the tenant and landlord.
- Conditions triggering payment: Describes when the guarantor is obligated to make payments on behalf of the tenant.
- Signatures and dates: Required for both the landlord and the guarantor to validate the agreement.
When this form is needed
This form is used in situations where a tenant may not have sufficient credit history or financial stability to secure a lease on their own. It is particularly useful when landlords require additional security to mitigate the risk of non-payment. If a tenant is not able to cover their rent due to unforeseen circumstances, this contract ensures that the landlord is still compensated through the guarantor's agreement.
Intended users of this form
- Guarantors, such as family members or friends, willing to support a tenant's rental agreement.
- Landlords requiring security before leasing a property, particularly for tenants with limited credit histories.

FAQ
A guarantor on an apartment lease agrees to pay the rent if the tenant can't.The landlord can evict the tenant and initiate collection action against the guarantor. This may include a lawsuit, negatively affecting the guarantor's credit.
A lease guarantee is an official agreement signed by the landlord, tenant, and in addition, a third party who meets the monetary requirements of the landlord. A lease guarantor serves as a financial intermediary and is responsible for the tenant's defaults, which protects the tenant from eviction.
Does being a guarantor affect my credit rating? Providing the borrower keeps up with their repayments your credit score won't be affected. However, should they fail to make their payments and the loan/mortgage falls into default, it will be added to your credit report.
Business owners are often required to give a personal guarantee to get a business loan or to lease commercial space for their business. Most business advisors say you should keep business and personal financial matters separate, and the loan is for the business, not for the individual.
A guaranty of lease is a covenant by the guarantor to be responsible for the obligations of the tenant.In these examples, a selective landlord would not enter into the lease without the tenant offering a creditworthy guarantor.
The cosigner, simply by signing on to the debt, is liable for the debt without the creditor needing to to take any additional actions. The guarantor is only liable for the debt after the creditor has exhausted all other options of collections from the original borrower.
If the Deed of guarantee contains a termination provision (allowing the guarantor to withdraw on say two months' notice)- the provision can allow the termination during the fixed term. If any term of the tenancy changes (e.g. rent increase) the guarantee will automatically come to an end.
Unfortunately, if you have signed the loan agreement and the loan has been successfully paid out, you cannot stop being someone's guarantor. So the answer is simply, 'no. '
It's very common for a guarantee to last as long as the tenancy lasts. So, if the tenant remains in the property for four years, you will continue to be responsible for any arrears or damages during that entire period. Most tenancies will run for a fixed term and will then continue on a month-by-month basis.
