BANK GUARANTEES

About This Course

Bank guarantees are essential financial instruments used in commercial leasing to provide landlords with security in the event a tenant defaults on their lease obligations. Unlike traditional security deposits, bank guarantees are issued by banks and ensure the landlord can recover funds without holding tenant cash directly. While they offer a more flexible and professional form of security, landlords must ensure that these guarantees are legally enforceable, accurately documented, and aligned with lease terms.

You'll explore the types of bank guarantees commonly used in leasing, how they are requested and issued, and the legal rights and obligations of all parties involved. Special attention is given to common challenges such as renewals, term extensions, and the release process. With real-world case references and key considerations for compliance and enforceability, this course will equip you to effectively manage bank guarantees as part of the leasing lifecycle.
