Commercial Lease Personal Guaranty

← All tools

Signing a commercial lease? The landlord almost always wants a personal guaranty. PaperKit drafts a proper Guaranty of Lease where a guarantor (the business owner/principal, or a parent company) backs the tenant's obligations to the landlord. Pick the scope: a full unconditional & continuing guaranty, a limited guaranty capped by a dollar amount and/or a number of months of rent (PaperKit computes the effective cap and the annualized rent), or a Good Guy Guaranty that burns off once the tenant vacates clean, gives the required notice, and is current on rent. It wires in the matching cap or surrender-conditions section and the waivers, and keeps the guarantor bound through lease amendments. Hosted online for the guarantor to review & e-sign. Clean PDF.

A commercial lease personal guaranty is a template for convenience, not legal advice. It creates real personal (or corporate) liability for the tenant's lease obligations; the underlying lease and applicable state and local law continue to govern. PaperKit is not a law firm. Review the guaranty and consult a qualified attorney.
