A guarantee by an individual of the tenant's lease obligations.

Full definition

Full personal guarantees are uncommon at institutional tenant scale. Limited guarantees (e.g., Good Guy in NYC) or capped guarantees are more common for smaller covenants.

Why this matters for Class A leasing

Personal guarantee is part of the lease structure vocabulary that institutional Class A occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across Global markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks regional variation alongside the global standard so cross-border occupiers can translate quickly.
