If the landlord will accept the financial resources of just the one signer as sufficient, they MAY allow the removal of the seond party. Approach them and ask, if they agree they may re-issue the lease in only one name.
Yes
No not unless you have an agreement that you had to pay the rent.
Typically, replacing a cosigner on a lease would require approval from the landlord or property management company, and they may have specific criteria for accepting a new cosigner. It's best to contact the landlord or property manager directly to discuss the possibility of changing the cosigner on the lease.
They can be sued for a breach of the agreement. Co-signers are equally responsible for any default regarding a lease.
I was applying for a new rental agreement and the place I'm trying to rent from saw a judgment in my name for a lease that I have never lived or signed up to be a cosigner to be on any agreement. I think my sister used my social security info and forged my signature and she backed out of a rental agreement. I've opened an investigation with the rental agency and other property and I'm just wondering what I can do in the meantime to clear my name from this.
no
Yes. That's the idea.
Yes.
A co-signer shares financial responsibility for the rental. Unpaid rent, damage to the apartment after moving and so on will fall on your shoulders if the renter does not do as he/she should.
Having a cosigner for a car lease can help you qualify for a lease if you have a limited credit history or poor credit. The cosigner's good credit can improve your chances of approval and may also help you secure a lower interest rate, potentially saving you money over the term of the lease. Additionally, having a cosigner can provide added security for the leasing company, reducing their risk and making them more willing to offer you a lease.
Not unless he or she signed the new lease.
That is up to the landlord.
