Call a local attorney for state specific advice. I see a lease as a contract and with the same rights and obligations. IOW, the landlord id right. Your brother only got the apt. because of YOUR credit rating.

You are legally bound to the lease and the obligations of the original contract as if it were your lease. You can take the person that you co-signed for to court for reimbursement.

How does it affect your chances of getting a mortgage if you are the cosigner for someone's apartment?

It should not affect your chances at all unless the payments are delinquent and end up affecting your credit score. Your credit score is the first the lenders look at when decided what type of loan you qualify for.


Can a cosigner sue the primary for the full amount of loan when the cosigner pays it off?

A cosigner can only sue if the primary borrower signed an agreement for the cosigner to pay the debt and then be reimbursed. The consignor can not sue if they, at their own liberty, decided to just pay the debt.


I just bought a new car but two days later the dealership called and said i need a cosigner I found one and they have very good credit should my APR and monthly payment go down with a cosigner?

No because you applied for the loan with YOUR credit. For whatever reason (you have the right to find out why) the dealership decided you were too big of a risk to be granted the loan you requested. The purpose of the cosigner is that in case you mess up your cosigner will be responsible for the loan.


Does the cosigner have any recourse if the primary borrower has decided not to pay on time or the full amount?

Not really, no. You can sue him for damages, but ... that takes time. And maybe there is not much to collect anyway.


Can a co-owner take a car from the co-signer?

A cosigner has no legal rights to a vehicle unless his or her name is on the title. If the cosigner's name appears on the vehicle title then he or she is also a co-owner of said vehicle and any dispute in possession and ownership may need to be decided through legal procedures.

You are the primary owner on a vehicle you owe 700 on the loan and the cosigner decided to take the vehicle even though they havent made any payments can they do that?

Two things to consider here: First, the cosigner is an equal owner of the vehicle regardless of whether or not any payment has been made by him. This is a matter of contract law. Second, and typically in cases where payments are not current, the cosigner/co-owner can take possession of the vehicle to protect his credit if his intention is to surrender the unit or to make payments current.
