If you co-signed on a debt, you are not obligated. If that person stops making payments, you have no option other than to make the payments yourself.

If you do not, you would be responsible for the debt. It will probably be sent to collections, which will destroy your credit, and eventually will probably lead to a lawsuit, so you're going to pay it one way or the other.

If you cosign on a loan and they don't pay the bill and the car gets repossessed are you able to go after the primary debtor in court to make them responsible for any outstanding debt?

No. You cosigned on the loan. You are the bank's back-up payment if the first person defaults on payment and you become responsible. That is why it is very important that you trust the person you cosign for or you have the funds to pay for the car if they default. If you pay for the car, it becomes yours. Before it was repossessed, the bank should have notified you in writing. Then you have the option to take the car and pay for it. Both credits will by hurt substantially.

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.
