A Co-Signer or “guarantor” is someone who helps you get approved for a rental. This is usually needed when you cannot prove income or credit. Typically complexes and landlords are looking to see that tenants make at least 3-4x the monthly rent. Meaning if Rent is $2,000, they want to see an income of $6,000 per month. Most properties will allow you to combine income between two parents as well as your own. If you have roommates complexes and landlords may allow income to be grouped between multiple families. Please check out the “Renting Requirements” tab for more information.
