FAQ
One of the most important guarantor requirements is that they have a good to excellent credit rating (typically 650 and above). Decent income. They will likely need to show proof of income or enough savings to pay back the loan if you fail to make your repayments. Stable job and housing.
As per Section 186 a company cannot give any loan or guarantee or provide security in connection with a loan to any other body corporate or person: exceeding sixty per cent. of its paid-up share capital, free reserves and securities premium account or one hundred per cent.
Can anyone be a guarantor? Almost anyone can be a guarantor. It's often a parent, spouse (as long as you have separate bank accounts), sister, brother, uncle or aunt, friend, or even a grandparent. However, you should only be a guarantor for someone you trust and are willing and able to cover the repayments for.
One reason could be the need to take a loan yourself. However, a bank may not allow a guarantor to withdraw from the role unless the borrower gets another guarantor or brings in additional collateral. Even if you get another guarantor, the bank has the discretion to disallow the switch.
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.
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.
A corporate guarantee is a legal agreement between a borrower, lender, and guarantor, whereby a corporation (e.g., an insurance company) takes responsibility for the debt repayment of the borrower provided it faced bankruptcy.
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.
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.
