Free Guarantor Form Template (Cosigner Agreement)
A guaranty a landlord has a cosigner sign when a tenant cannot fully qualify on their own, such as a student or someone with limited credit. The guarantor promises to cover rent, damages, and other lease obligations if the tenant does not pay, giving the landlord a second party to hold responsible.

GUARANTOR / COSIGNER AGREEMENT
This Guaranty Agreement is entered into as of ________________ by ________________ (the "Guarantor") for the benefit of ________________ (the "Landlord").
1. GUARANTY. In consideration of the Landlord entering into a lease with ________________ (the "Tenant") for the property at ________________, the Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the full and timely performance of all Tenant obligations under that lease.
2. OBLIGATIONS GUARANTEED. The lease is dated ________________ for a term of ________________ at a monthly rent of $ ________________. This Guaranty covers rent, late fees, damage beyond normal wear and tear, and any other amounts the Tenant owes under the lease.
3. CONTINUING GUARANTY. This Guaranty remains in effect for the full lease term and any renewals, extensions, or holdover periods, until all Tenant obligations are satisfied in full.

5. GUARANTOR INFORMATION. Guarantor address: ________________. Phone: ________________. Email: ________________. Relationship to Tenant: ________________.
6. GOVERNING LAW. This Guaranty is governed by the laws of the state where the property is located and is binding on the Guarantor's heirs, executors, and successors.
This is a general template and not legal advice. Guaranty and cosigner requirements vary by state, and some states limit how long a guaranty stays in force. Review your state's requirements or have an attorney review this agreement before use.

Questions
Can this replace a rent receipt book?+
Yes — generate and print receipts as needed instead of buying carbon-copy books. Each receipt is numbered by you, and the rent ledger keeps the running history the book's stubs used to.
What is a rent ledger?+
A rent ledger is a month-by-month record of rent charged, payments received, and the running balance for a tenancy. Landlords use it for taxes and bookkeeping; courts ask for it in eviction and security-deposit cases; tenants request it as proof of payment history.
Is this template really free?+
Yes — the generator, printing, and CSV download are free with no signup. A free account lets you save ledgers; Pro adds Excel export and unlimited saved ledgers for multiple properties.
Will this hold up in court?+
Courts want a clear, dated, month-by-month accounting — exactly what this produces: charges, payments, dates, and running balance in a clean layout. Pair it with your lease and payment evidence (bank records, receipts). For legal advice about your specific case, consult an attorney.
Can I record partial payments and late fees?+
Yes. Each month's row has the amount due, the amount actually paid, and a notes field for late fees or partial-payment details — the running balance updates automatically.
Can I use it for multiple tenants or properties?+
You can generate as many ledgers as you like. Pro accounts keep them saved and organized per property and tenant, so monthly updates take seconds.
Is my data private?+
The ledger is built in your browser — nothing is sent to our servers unless you save it to your account, and saved ledgers can be deleted anytime.
