What it is and who needs it.
What the tenant lease bond actually covers
A tenant lease bond — also called a lease guarantee bond — is a private contractual guarantee between you (the tenant), a surety carrier, and your landlord. It assures the landlord that your lease obligations will be met, and lets a tenant satisfy a landlord without locking up a large cash security deposit.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the landlord (the obligee). If you breach the lease — unpaid rent or damage beyond ordinary wear — the landlord can claim against the bond up to the penal sum, and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you.
This is not a New Jersey government requirement. Unlike a license bond, the amount and terms are set by your landlord and lease, not by statute — though it operates alongside New Jersey’s rent-security framework (N.J.S.A. 46:8-19 et seq.). Confirm the amount your landlord wants and we issue it at a flat 3%.
