Plain-language answers about New York guarantor papers. LeaseGen.io is not a law firm. Confirm current statutes before anyone signs.
- What is a guarantor addendum?
- It adds a guarantor or co-signer who promises to pay if the tenant does not. The guarantor is not an occupant unless also named on the lease.
- Does the guarantor get a key?
- Not by default. A guarantor guarantees payment; they do not gain tenancy rights unless the lease names them as a tenant.
- Can a guarantor waive New York deposit rules?
- No. N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law § 7-108 still binds the landlord. The guarantor’s promise is separate from deposit accounting duties.
