Landlord News Landlords Questions Lettings & Management

Hi, a bit of of advice needed. I was a guarantor on an AST for 6 months and at the end of the tenancy the tenant was asked by the letting agents to go in to give her a new written tenancy agreement and charged her £50 to sign it.

Am I right in thinking this is a new tenancy and does that mean I’m still guarantor?

I’m confused because as guarantor I’m being asked by the court to pay the arrears, also the judge stated although my guarantee is vague I signed it so therefore I’m liable?

Surely a contract which is vague cannot be enforced?

Thank you,
