co-signors are required of anyone of any age who does NOT meet the credit requirements of the entity extending credit. doesnt have to be parents, that's just where kids normally go first. LOL

No you are not required to cosign for anything for anyone, not even your own child after the age of 18.

An eighteen year old can legally sign a contract. However, a landlord is not required to accept the teen as a tenant without a co-signer who will guarantee the terms of the lease will be fulfilled. An eighteen year old has not yet established a credit record.

At the age of 18, your son can enter into any legally binding contract, including a lease for an apartment. As long as he meets the requirements of the managing company, which generally include an income requirement, credit and renter's history check. If he does not meet their requirements then, he will need a co-signer to get approved.

An 18-year-old can sign the lease to rent an apartment because he or she is legally considered an adult. This is the case in most states. However, there are a few states where the minimum age to rent may be higher.
