Residential Lease Agreement

I am renting to college students and would like the parents/guardians as co-signers to the lease. How do I incorporate this into the lease agreement I just bought?

Re: Residential Lease Agreement

Without seeing the lease you plan to use, it's hard to determine exactly what language you'll need to add to have co-signers. You can either add a provision to the document if you have room, or you can add a rider to the lease for the co-signer. If you use a rider, reference must be made to it in the lease in the relevant section. You would really be best served by having a lawyer look it over and advise you as to what you need to effectuate your intent.

Afternoon,

Talk to an attorney as it would be quick to consider your options and the agreement. The parties can either co-sign or, likely more preferable, they can act as guarantor's of the lease. I would imagine they would have a problem co-signing the lease because of various issues.

Contact an attorney rather than guess and have a poor or invalid agreement.
