Landlord Quick Tip
Tip #223: Sign, Cosign
There’s no reason you have to accept an applicant who needs a cosignatory to qualify. However, if you allow that option for one applicant, you have to offer it to all other applicants with similar qualifications.
Otherwise, you may be accused of discrimination.
So decide ahead of your next vacancy whether you’d accept applicants with cosigners, and be sure to apply the rules uniformly.
