The Personal Guarantee Form For Commercial Lease is a crucial document in Hong Kong's commercial property landscape, typically required when a landlord seeks additional security beyond the tenant company's covenant. This document is particularly relevant when leasing to companies with limited trading history, subsidiaries of overseas entities, or in high-value commercial leases. The guarantee creates a direct obligation from individuals (usually directors or shareholders) to the landlord, ensuring personal liability for the tenant's obligations under the lease. The document must comply with Hong Kong contract law and property regulations, including specific requirements for guarantee agreements and commercial lease arrangements. It typically includes comprehensive provisions for enforcement, default scenarios, and the scope of guaranteed obligations, providing landlords with robust protection while clearly defining the guarantor's responsibilities.
