Possibly. Co-signing makes you 100% liable for the contract (or, in this case, lease). If the apartment complex reports to the bureaus, then, yes, they will report this obligation against the co-signer as well as the primary obligator. No, evictions are not a part of a credit report, unless a lawsuit is filed, won, and a judgment award is granted for collection of monies owed. There are however, agencies that supply reports pertaining to evictions, to enable landlords and rental agencies to screen applicants.
If your bankruptcy is nine and a half years old will it be taken off your credit report when it reaches the 10th year automatically?
Not necessarily. Sometimes it can take a credit bureau a few months (or even longer) to take an old record off your credit report. The best advice I can give is to request a credit report after 10 years have passed. If the bankruptcy is still listed, you can dispute the record directly with the credit bureau. You can get a free credit report at www.annualcreditreport.com or from most housing counseling agencies. You can find these agencies by looking on www.hud.gov.
