Deed of guarantee
Use one of the templates to create a deed of guarantee where a guarantor is required for an assured shorthold tenancy (AST). A copy of the unsigned tenancy agreement should be attached. If the guarantor does not receive a copy of the tenancy agreement that they are guaranteeing, the guarantee may not be enforceable. It may be prudent to ask the guarantor to initial each page of the tenancy agreement.
The deed of guarantee for full liability allows the landlord to pursue each person forming the guarantee for all the costs and liabilities outstanding.
The deed of guarantee for limited liability allows the landlord to pursue each person forming the guarantor for a percentage of the costs and liabilities outstanding.

Deed of assignment
Use this document where tenants on an assured shorthold tenancy are changing and the landlord wants the tenancy to continue on its existing terms rather than grant a new tenancy.
Of particular importance are the clauses relating to the deposit because outgoing tenants are likely to want a return of the proportion of the deposit they paid. The landlord will therefore want incoming tenants to make up the balance and will also want to ensure that any losses recoverable from the deposit can be taken whether before or after the change of tenants.
The Prescribed Information form relating to tenancy deposits should be re-served on the tenants and any Relevant Person (anyone who has paid the deposit of tenants) within 30 days of the assignment.
