No. A co-signer has no legal rights to the property. They are responsible for the debt incurred until the terms of the lending agreement are fulfilled or refinanced without their participation.

If you were to cosign for a rental agreement how will your credit be affected and how does one get removed as cosigner?
The way it may impact on the credit report depends on if the person pays the rent as agreed. It will also play a part in the cosigner's DTI. Usually the only way of being removed as a cosigner is if the agreement is reaffirmed by the primary holder and the lender.

For example, if the person moves someone not on the original rental contract into the apartment.
