Guarantor question
Comments
-
Both lending the money and being the guarantor are terrible ideas in my opinion.
‘Lending’ the money means she can just disappear or refuse to pay you and you have very little legal comeback. Please don’t listen to anyone who has suggested this idea. I actually think this is worse than being the guarantor.0 -
You say she is a friend, how well do you know here. Are you likely to be able to recover anything from the family.
If you do this you have to assume you will be paying all the rent, and be paying a lot of damages. Unless you can recover this from the family you would have to assume that you are going to end up severely out of pocket.
Of course you could get lucky and actually end up not having to pay anything out, but it is extremely doubtful.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0
