Co-sign question answer from ChatGPT.

[Huiping S.]

I have one applicants whose income is not enough and she requested to see the property, so I used ChatGPT and here is the answer:

In North Carolina, an ex-husband could co-sign a lease as a co-tenant or a guarantor, if the landlord agrees to it. However, it's important to note that a co-signer is equally responsible for the lease agreement, including the payment of rent and any damages. This means that if the primary tenant fails to pay rent or damages the property, the co-signer is also responsible for covering these costs.

It's also worth considering the relationship between the ex-husband and the woman and whether it's appropriate for them to enter into a financial agreement together. If there are any concerns about their ability to communicate or work together effectively, it may be better to look for another co-signer or consider alternative housing options.

Ultimately, the decision to allow an ex-husband to co-sign a lease is up to the landlord and they may consider factors such as the co-signer's credit history, income, and rental history when making their decision.

Please add your comments.

Do not get your advice from a machine.

I don't accept cosigners except for full-time students. For all others, I want the people living in the rental to pay their own bills. Cosigners sound good until you run into problems and they refuse to pay for something someone else did.
