Legal Question in Real Estate Law in North Carolina
My daughter has been told she is going to lose her apartment if she does not sign a co signer form. This was not in her lease when she signed it back in January and they have already accepted rent on this lease term. The lease also says " this agreement can be modified or amended in writing if signed by both parties". Does she have to provide this? Can they throw her out for not having a cosigner form when it was not in the lease when she signed it?

If the co-signor agreement was not required byt he lease then no, she is not required to sign it. As long as she pays rent she should be ok. But if they are insistent on this, they can simply give notice when the lease is up and ask her to leave. She should be prepared for that when the time comes.
