The Guarantor Letter For Lease is commonly used in New Zealand's property rental market when additional security is required beyond the tenant's own covenant. This typically occurs when letting property to individuals or companies with limited trading history, students, or in high-value commercial leases. The document serves as a risk management tool for landlords while enabling tenants who might otherwise not qualify to enter into lease agreements. It must comply with New Zealand's property and contract law requirements, including the Property Law Act 2007 and the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (for residential properties) or commercial law principles (for business premises). The letter formally establishes the guarantor's obligations, the extent of their liability, and the circumstances under which the guarantee can be called upon.
