Strengthening the Landlord’s Position - AGAs, Rent Deposits & Guarantors

Introduction

Commercial landlords fear one thing more than weak tenants: empty premises draining cashflow and impacting overall capital value.

In a market where covenant strength can make or break a deal, authorised guarantee agreements (AGAs), guarantors, and rent deposits are strategic tools that can reshape negotiations, persuading landlords to accept weaker tenants and providing them with additional security to protect their investments.

This 2 hour live online session gives you a complete, practical, scenario driven guide to getting AGAs, guarantees and deposits right.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive course will cover the following:

• A look at security options that actually work: what are the main forms of security on grant and assignment, with a clear commercial comparison of their pros and cons for both landlord and tenant.
• How to structure and protect guarantees: what makes a guarantor arrangement enforceable, robust and commercially acceptable?
• Mastering AGAs: When can they be required, what they should contain, and what to watch out for when negotiating AGAs.
• What happens when things go wrong? A practical look at these types of security and what they can offer where a tenant defaults.

This session will work through realistic, challenging situations that mirror the issues you may face. Whether you act for landlords, tenants or both, you’ll leave with a sharper, more confident approach to security.
