What if I need a Guarantor?

A Guarantor is not technically a “co-signer”. A Guarantor is a qualified person who agrees to be immediately and entirely responsible for rental payments if the leaseholder does not make rent payments on an apartment/home. A Guarantor should complete an application and be approved for the responsibility.

A Guarantor application and proof of income totaling 5X the monthly rental can be submitted should an applicant be denied due to income only.

The guarantor, once approved, will sign an addendum to the main lease. The Guarantor has no rights of access to the apartment/home. Only 1 Guarantor per household may be used. The guarantor must reside in the United States.

A Guarantor may not be used if the applicant is denied due to negative credit history or denial due to criminal history.
