Does a LLC have to be a guarantor for a commercial lease?

Question

I meant to ask: Does an individual have to be a guarantor for a commerial lease even the lease is under the LLC name?

Answer 1

Bill's answer above still applies.  

A landlord will typically look for the best credit they can get attached to the lease.  If the LLC's financials looks weak, the landlord might well require a larger security deposit, letter of credit or personal guaranty from individuals in the LLC.

Answer 2

No, it can be an individual as long as they have enough credit.  If fact if the LLC has no/ little history the lessor may insist on the individual signing for the LLC.
