Question

Can I start to recover outstanding monies from a guarantor prior to the tenant being served notice?

Answer 1

What is the tenant being served notice for?

If it is non-payment of rent, then you should call the guarantor right away and follow up with a certified return receipt requested letter reiterating the issue and telephone conversation.

They signed up to pay if the tenant defaults, this is exactly why you have them.

Answer 2

Yes, you can file suit if you are talking about rent, but not damage, damage has to be after.
