What it is and who needs it.
What the lease performance bond covers
A lease performance bond is a guarantee of a tenant's obligations. When you lease city-owned property from the City of El Paso — a concession, a hangar, a ground lease, retail space — the City wants assurance you will pay rent, maintain the premises, and restore the property at lease end.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal / tenant), the surety carrier, and the City of El Paso (the obligee / landlord). If you default on the lease — unpaid rent, damage beyond ordinary wear, failure to restore — the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Tenants who pay on time and maintain the premises treat the bond as a lease formality. Pricing is 2% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; because the amount can be large, this bond also runs a soft credit pull — never a hard inquiry — as a routine check.
