Yes. They form a contract with the other party to the contract. Each of the co signers will be fully responsible for honoring the contract. If one co signer fails to fulfill their obligations under the contract, the obligations will fall on the remaining co signer. For example, of two people sign a lease agreement as tenants and one leaves, the other will be responsible for completing the lease agreement. If one person buys a car and gets another non-owner to co sign the loan, the non-owner will be responsible for full payment of the loan if the primary borrower-car-owner doesn't pay. Whenever you co- sign a legal document you are agreeing to the terms of a binding contract.

If I cosign for a rental property how an I held liable if they don't pay their rent?
It's the same as co-signing for a loan. If they don't pay, you will be contacted. If you don't pay it can be reported to the credit bureau. When you co-sign any contract or loan, you are guaranteeing the payment(s) on behalf of the person you co-signed for. If the person you co-signed for does not make the payment(s), the person who is owed has a right to demand payment from you. By co-signing, you entered into a legal contract.
