What is this Authorised Guarantee Agreement for?
A tenant will enter into this guarantee when they assign/transfer the lease to a new tenant and the landlord requires the outgoing tenant to guarantee that the assignee will perform the tenant’s obligations under the lease.
An Authorised Guarantee Agreement keeps the original tenant on the hook in case the assignee defaults
What detailed terms does the guarantee contain?
It covers:
- definitions
- authorised guarantee agreements
- the guarantor’s covenants
- the landlord’s covenant
- circumstances under which the guarantor will not be released from liability
- Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999
The basic rule is that once a tenant transfers his lease he no longer has any obligation to the landlord. So, the landlord may demand this guarantee as a condition of giving consent to the assignment.
