The guarantor agreement built for periodic tenancies
Most guarantor templates online guarantee a fixed term that no longer exists, and go silent on what happens when the rent rises under Section 13. Ours is drafted for the world as it is: an open-ended periodic tenancy, a continuing guarantee, and a rent that changes once a year.
What the pack contains
- The deed of guarantee: a continuing guarantee of rent and tenant obligations, expressly surviving Section 13 rent increases and tenancy variations, with a clear scope clause for joint tenancies (one tenant's share or the whole rent) and a fair termination mechanism for future liability.
- Guidance notes: how to execute it as a deed, why the guarantor needs the tenancy agreement before signing, and the notifications that keep the guarantee enforceable.
- A cover letter to the guarantor: plain-English explanation of what they are signing, which is both fair practice and what stops a guarantee being challenged later.
When you need one
Students and first-time renters, thin referencing, the newly self-employed, and any letting where the one-month advance-rent limit removed the old upfront-cash comfort. The background law is in our free guarantors guide.

Frequently asked questions
Does this guarantee survive a rent increase?
Yes, expressly. The deed guarantees the tenancy as varied from time to time, including Section 13 increases, which is the clause most free templates are missing.
Does it work for joint tenancies?
Yes. The scope clause lets you set the guarantee to one named tenant's share or to the full joint rent, stated in plain terms the guarantor signs up to knowingly.
Is it a deed?
Yes, executed with a witness, which removes any argument about consideration and is the robust way to paper a guarantee.
