How will I know if I need a guarantor?

By Ron Leshnower, About.com

Question: How will I know if I need a guarantor?
Answer: Your landlord will tell you if you need a guarantor. Some landlords are quick to require guarantors because doing so adds another layer of protection to ensure the landlord gets the rent. Other landlords require guarantors only if prospective renters don't meet their income tests.
