Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Massachusetts
Validity of rental lease
My friend and I rented an apartment and due to the minimum salary requirements we needed a cosigner. The cosigner's name is typed up in all pertinant areas of the lease, however the cosigner never signed the lease. Is this lease valid?

Re: Validity of rental lease
If the landlord signed lease and the tenants signed the lease and the Landlord accepted it and gave you occupancy then it is a valid lease. It constitutes acceptance without the co-signor.
