FAQ

Co-signers have equal responsibility for payment of monthly rental costs, while a guarantor is generally sought for payment only when the primary signer is unable to make the rental payment.

Guarantors sign the lease and are responsible for the payments under the law, but they don't occupy the apartment nor are they entitled to occupy it.

The Basics: A Co-signor is part owner of the property, may or may not live in the property and is responsible for the debt repayment. A Guarantor is responsible for the debt repayment if the borrower (applicant) is unable to pay but has no benefits of owning any part of the property.

According to Nolo, a cosigner is a person designated to make the rental payments if the tenant does not pay. They sign their name to the lease agreement and are held fully responsible for rent if the tenant stops paying rent.

Ask the owner whether he allows for co-signers. Schedule a meeting with the owner and your co-signer. Sign the lease or rental agreement once the co-signer passes the property owner's requirements. Ask the landlord whether he objects to another tenant moving into the home.

A co-signer, on the other hand, will usually have their name on the title of the home or automobile. Guarantors are usually liable for default only when the lender has done everything possible to get the primary borrower to make the payments.

The cosigner, simply by signing on to the debt, is liable for the debt without the creditor needing to to take any additional actions. The guarantor is only liable for the debt after the creditor has exhausted all other options of collections from the original borrower.

If you are signing a new lease to include the new person, the landlord can alter the terms and you must decide whether you are willing to sign the revised lease agreement.
