Give him an 8 week AST. Obvs.

Or deed of surrender on 6 months AST

Yes, all new paperwork. And checkout, deposit deductions (if any) re. Credit check (he might have lost his job, got new CCJ ....)

Was guarantee enacted as a deed?

Was guarantor given guarantee and AST to review before signing? And told to get legal advice?
