The cosigner is a party with an established financial history who agrees to back up one or more tenants on the lease. They function as a safety net for the landlord. If the other people named in the lease cant make rent or cause damages they cant afford to repair, the cosigner has agreed to pay instead.
Landlords typically require proof of income and credit checks for both tenants and cosigners. The cosigner does not need to live in the apartment but must sign the lease. Clear communication with the landlord about all occupants and financial arrangements is essential to avoid future disputes.
Technically, you can live in an apartment without being on the lease. But normally the lease specifies that only people listed in the lease may live in the apartment, so the person on the lease agreement may get in trouble because of an unauthorized tenant. Not all apartment buildings look at the credit reports.
Co-signers lend their good credit to renters and assume financial responsibility for the lease. If the tenant doesnt pay rent, accrues property damage charges, or engages in illegal activity, the co-signer must cover the due balance.
Cosigning a lease has no direct effect on your credit score; however, if the rent doesnt get paid in full and on time no matter who is to blame you risk a black mark on your credit rating and you could expose yourself to a lawsuit as well.
