I suggest you never sign anything ever again.

I signed the form because I was helping my partner's mother secure a home. I felt I was doing the right thing. But please, do mock me for not knowing how to get legal advice. It's great and super friendly! Did you miss the part where I already called myself an idiot? Do you really have to press the point further?

I guess the newbie badge really has no affect, people just love to be gits on the internet.

My expertise is in computers, not law. Funilly enough I don't go around calling my users muppets for pressing the wrong buttons or not knowing how to reinstall windows.

Really? Surely just once your refered to the problem as a "Chair keyboard interface issue"? Or maybe filled in a defect resolution summary as "PICNIC Issue"?

Nah, tempted though.

I don't do support these days anyhow, more of a pure developer.

Assuming the guarantee is enforceable, does this mean the OP has this millstone round their neck until such time as the tenant chooses to end their tenancy? Is there no other way (assuming no agreement from the landlord) to end OP's guarantor status (assuming OP doesn't go bankrupt)?

OP would be liable for as long as tenant remains since that is exactly what he agreed to.

The tenant was for some reason a bad 'risk' so the landlord did not want to take the risk of giving him a multi thousand pound property.

Perhaps the tenant has a history of county court judgements? or bankrupptcy? or an income income too low to justify commiting to the rent? or....or....

So you came along and said "Don't worry landlord - I know this tenant is a risk, but give him your multi-thousand pound property and I'll guarantee to make good any loss if he lets you down.

Now, the landlord would be stupid to say "OK for the beginning of his occupation only", so he says "OK, as long as you'll cover any losses as long as the dubious tenant is occupying my multi-thousand pound property".
