Re: Co-signing a Rental Lease
No, the owner is not obligated to pursue the primary signatory on the lease, unless the lease says so. Once the lease has been defaulted upon, the owner can pursue both the primary and secondary signatories separately, together, or however he chooses. As a practical matter, however, most owners tend to pursue the primary signatory first.
