TIP NUMBER SIX
Background Check Co-Signers. One way to rent to someone with questionable credit or rental history is to require a co-signer. But avoid the common mistake of accepting a co-signer without checking their credit and rental history. It is crucial to collection to have the co-signer complete a rental application and sign an iron-clad agreement.
