Forum / Tenant Screening/Advertising / Co signer lease

I have a possible tenant that has terrible credit. His father has excellent credit and wants to sign and be responsible for payment. His son is of legal age. Can his father do this and do I have recourse?

RE: Co signer lease

Yes there can be a co-signer for anyone of any age, they are basically taking the responsibility for all financial conditions. If the house is destroyed if payments or fines are not met that all legally falls to the co-signer.
