Kansas Guaranty Attachment to Lease for Guarantor or Cosigner
About this form

FAQ
Almost anyone can act as your Guarantor; it can be a family member, a friend or a work colleague, but not your wife/husband. They will need to be at least 21 years old, and under 80 years old by the end of the loan term and have a good credit history.
A guarantor is another word for cosigner, and by definition, a guarantor is someone who guarantees to be legally responsible for paying the rent as stipulated by the lease, but only if the tenant cannot pay for one reason or another.
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.
The most simple way to get out of being someone's guarantor is for the main borrower to pay off their loan and essentially, terminate the agreement.
While a co-signer is responsible for the rent at the moment it is due, a guarantor only has to pay once the person on the agreement fails to do so. A guarantor won't have any right to live in the apartment "because you are only going to be liable for anything if the tenant stops paying," says Cohen.
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.
When The Lease Is Up When having a guarantor on the lease, the best way to be able to have him removed as soon as possible is to set a good payment record with the landlord.
The guarantor covenanted under the lease that the tenant would pay the rent and sums due under the lease and will observe the tenant's covenants. In the event of tenant default, the guarantor covenanted to make good to the landlord on demand all loss, damage, costs and expenses arising or incurred by the landlord.
A Guarantor is not an owner and has no entitlement to the property. Their similarity lies in that they are both responsible for the debt on the property if the Borrower is unable to pay. A Co-signor is most often used when an applicant is unable to qualify for a mortgage, based on their income or credit.
