Co-signing a lease is a common way to help friends or family get approved for an apartment and comes with important obligations for the cosigner, so you should understand how co-signing a lease works before you agree to it.
It absolutely can matter. If you need a cosigner, a landlord may not rent to you because they will predict that you may not be a responsible tenant.
Although requirements can vary by lender, a cosigner typically needs to have good to excellent credit (670 and up) to cosign a loan or credit line. Lenders look at a cosigner's credit score and report as well as their income and assets to determine whether they qualify for a loan.
These payments aren't typically a part of a credit report. The effect of this co-sign, in theory, should be neither positive nor negative. With that said, if someone does co-sign their friend's apartment lease and the friend defaults, the co-signer's credit history will suffer.
Landlords generally have the right to choose whether to allow co-signers or not. Landlords can also generally choose whether they want to allow individual co-signers or commercial co-signer services.
