Lease Guarantees & AGAs - A Roundup of Recent Case Law

Introduction

Landlords often seek more security for the rental stream than the tenant's covenant to pay the rent. They may seek a rent deposit or a guarantor. On assignment of the lease the landlord will often require an authorised guarantee agreement too.

This webinar will look at the relevant case law affecting guarantees and AGAs so attendees can gain valuable insights into how the courts are interpreting these instruments and the implications for landlords, tenants, and their advisers.
