When they ask for a co-applicant, to guarantee payment, how do they determine the worth of the Co-App? Credit reports do not state wages. Tax forms are private. Banks cannot disclose account information. How do they determine whether the person could absorb the lease if the Applicant defaulted?

I think they just run the credit report, if they want wage information, they simply request pay stubs. you can not have a co signer with bad credit.

That is probaly good in a lot of cases. Paystubs and the credit report are the biggest factors in getting a lease.

I was a co-signer on my daughter and son-in-laws apartment lease. I have a bankruptcy on my credit and they still approved them. They did want to know my place of employment but not wages. I guess to just make sure that I was definitely working.

probably, sometimes I think it is just a technicality (sp). They just need to have someone else responsible if the tenants don't pay.

co signing is risky for the co borrower too, you risk losing your money or assetts because somebody did not pay there rent and then you pay the price. I would have to be really sure about someone before I did that.

I was lucky---my daughter and son-in-law did not rent that apartment. They went to another and didn't have to have a co-signer. Before that the lived with ME.

Once, before I began my credit repair I wanted to get this really nice apartment in North HAven. I told them that I had bad credit and asked if I should even try to get an apartment there. The woman told me sure, just bring a co-signer. I bring my dad and once we are there they tell us that he would have to make 10x our rent to qualify so they know that he can afford his bills and our rent if we default! Needless to say we didnt move there.

What I feel is that, co-applicants usually conforms that he personally knows the borrower and that the borrower is responsible enough to pay back the debt, else he will pay it. The co-applicant also has to provide his details and the creditor may check his credit report before offering the loan.

Wow cmbv that is quite a bit 10 times. I myself would not trust co-signing these days. It seems times are rough for everyone and it would be aking an awful big chance. Not only that it seems alot of family members screw the other persons crdit these days. I could not spend years or for some a lifetime establishing a good credit rating only to have someone lese ruin it.

TEN TIMES!!! OMG---I guess that right there is a deterrent to only get tenants who are financially secure. Geez! I have heard of three times the rent, but not TEN. Maybe (probably!) the apartment complex had been "ripped off" before.

Well, they must have thought they seen a fool coming? Good for you that you walked a way from it.

I would have walked away myself. This is really unreasonable.

I know we have to pay for our mistakes, but I think at some point it is very discriminating, this is a perfect example of labeling, profiling and discrimination.
