When a business leases commercial space, it is common practice for the landlord to request that the company provide a personal guaranty, a protective measure taken to ensure landlords have recourse against a commercial lessee if there is a default under the lease. In this way, landlords mitigate financial losses. A personal guaranty gives the landlord the ability to recover any losses from the personal guarantor if the commercial lessee breaches its lease agreement by failing to pay rent.
