Guarantor Agreement (Deed)

About this document

What it’s for

A deed under which a third party (usually a parent or relative) guarantees a tenant’s rent and other obligations. It is written for open-ended periodic tenancies under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, so it includes a financial cap, a right for the guarantor to bring the guarantee to an end for the future, and plain-English explanations the guarantor must read.

When to use it

  • When referencing shows the tenant needs a guarantor
  • For one tenant in a joint tenancy, or the whole joint tenancy (choose in clause 3)
  • Signed before or at the same time as the tenancy agreement

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

How to complete it

  • Give the guarantor a copy of the tenancy agreement first and suggest independent advice
  • Choose the cap and the scope options
  • The guarantor signs in the physical presence of an independent adult witness
  • Give the guarantor a signed copy and keep the original

Key points to check

  • A guarantee must be in writing and signed by the guarantor
  • Unfair terms are not binding – keep the cap realistic
