Important information and declaration

Please ensure you have read and fully understood the statements below prior to signing the declaration and submitting the form. In the event you do not understand, please seek Legal advice. The Tenancy Agreement is a legally binding contract, and your obligations will only be removed by written request and by written agreement with Knights Estates Ltd.

I, the below signed, hereby declare that all of the information I have given on this form to be true and correct at the time of completing.
I understand the legal obligations of becoming a Guarantor in regard to rent arrears and that I agree that I am liable to pay any unpaid rent to Knights Estates Ltd on behalf of the tenant.
I agree to be Guarantor for the lead tenant AND all co-tenants for the duration of the tenancy not just the minimum 6 months fixed term, unless I have received written confirmation from Knights Estates Ltd. If any of the tenants vacate the property and they are released from the agreement, I understand that I must remain the Guarantor for any other residents in the property unless a suitable replacement Guarantor is found by the said tenant/s and that they have been accepted by Knights Estates Ltd. I also understand that I cannot be removed until I have received written confirmation that my obligations have been terminated.
I agree that I cannot be removed as Guarantor while the rent balance is in arrears.
The Guarantor agreement will end when the tenancy officially expires, however if there are rent arrears remaining and damage to the property beyond the deposit value, I will also be responsible for those additional costs. I understand if these are not settled, I could be taken to Court for the outstanding costs which will include the applicable Court fees.
I, the below signed have read and understood the declaration and undertake the responsibility as Guarantor.
