Both are equally responsible. If one doesn't pay the other will be responsible. That is what "co-signing" is all about. The co-signer guarantees the rent will be paid.

How can I rent a cosigner for my loan application?

You can't rent a cosigner for a loan application. A cosigner is someone who agrees to be responsible for the loan if you can't pay it back. They must have good credit and be willing to take on the risk. It's not something you can pay someone to do for you.


I filed for bankruptcy in 2001now I need a cosigner for my new apartment will the cosigner know about the bankruptcycan the bankruptcy creditors link the cosigner to me damage their credit?

I am in the same boat due to illness and I am looking for a co-signer so I can rent an apt. The bankruptcy has been discharged per the court, and it is hard to rent an apartment sometimes with a co-singer. Everyone has different rules. I believe if you filed a bankruptcy, then had a co-signer, it would have no effect on them, only what you do after they co-sign

Does the co-signer have a right to hold on to 6 months rent from the tenant in case something happens?

Your co-signer is smart, and you should be glad. If you need a co-signer, it means that your credit is not good enough to rent on your merits alone. The co-signer is responsible for a period of rent (commonly 6 months) if you default. Having the money keeps them from having to ask you for it in the event it needs to be paid. Hopefully, at the end of the lease and/or when you get the lease on your own, they will return any unused funds.
