A host party assumes responsibility for another’s debt if it is not paid, often as a loan cosigner. They bear the risk of repayment if the borrower defaults and may be used to secure better loan terms. Parties involved must sign an accommodation document outlining the steps in the event of default. The benefit comes from helping someone secure funding, but there is inherent risk.
A host party is a person or entity that agrees to assume responsibility for another’s debt if the obligation is not paid. The party lends its name and good credit to the finance arrangement and bears the risk of repayment if the borrower defaults. Housekeepers, however, are generally not reimbursed for their service nor are they entitled to any financial bonus from the loan. A common type of housing party is a loan cosigner. A part of the housing may also be known as a surety or third party guarantor.
Lodging parties can be used in a variety of circumstances. The financial obligation can be personal, such as a car loan. Commercial transactions, such as business loans, may also require the involvement of a third party to secure the funds.
The most common reason a surety is required is when a lender is not convinced that the borrower has sufficient financial resources or credit history to pay off a debt. For example, if a borrower applies for a mortgage, but is determined to have excessive credit risk, the finance company may require a housing party to become a co-signer before approving the loan. The borrower in this case is therefore known as the hosted party. If the host party defaults on the loan, the loan company can demand repayment from the host party, which in turn can demand repayment from the original borrower.
Housing parts can also be used to get better loan terms, such as a lower interest rate. In this case, the borrower is not considered to have a credit risk that would make him ineligible for a loan. The credit request can still be strengthened on the basis of the involvement of the host party.
Parties involved in accommodation situations typically need to sign an accommodation document. The document works like a bill of exchange, indicating that the surety assumes the entire financial obligation for the loan in the event of a borrower default. The document can outline the steps the creditor must take in the event of a default. For example, the housing charter may require the lender to contact the borrower a certain number of times or take the borrower to court before suing the host party.
Stakeholders must be willing to take risks for a tangible reward. The benefit comes primarily from knowing that the party helped a friend, relative, or associate secure funding. The risk is inherent because the surety would not be required to participate in the transaction if the borrower had adequate assets or credit to begin with.
