Usage

連帯(れんたい)保証人(ほしょうにん) is commonly required when renting apartments in Japan. The guarantor has the same legal obligation as the tenant to pay rent. For those without a suitable guarantor, 保証(ほしょう)会社(がいしゃ) (guarantor companies) offer an alternative.

Similar words

  • 保証人(ほしょうにん) - an ordinary guarantor can insist that the creditor first try to collect from the debtor; a 連帯(れんたい)保証人(ほしょうにん) has no such right and can be asked to pay in full straight away, which is why the word carries a sense of heavy risk.

Common collocations

  • 連帯(れんたい)保証人(ほしょうにん)になる (to become a joint guarantor)
  • 連帯(れんたい)保証人(ほしょうにん)を立(た)てる (to provide a joint guarantor)
  • 連帯(れんたい)保証人(ほしょうにん)不要(ふよう) (no guarantor required)
