The landlord can make rules about co-signers if he wants. Many landlords don't want to rent to students or young people because they frequently don't have jobs or earn enough money to afford the apartment. If you're a full time student, you're probably working part-time. $10 an hour may seem like a lot of money, but if you only work 15 to 20 hours a week, it will be hard to live on your own. You have to be 18 to enter into a contract pretty much everywhere. |

Depends, are you considered a legal adult in NC at the age of 17? If not she has every right to deny you, if so then something is fishy. You might have to wait for your birthday or find other options. Sounds like the Lady is being cautious. Nothing wrong with that just be patient or find another apartment. |

Several things are wrong in those statements. 1. with you being 17 unless you are emancipated they cannot rent to you until your 18th birthday sometime 21st depending on the state (don't know about yours) 2. Your mother can co-sign for you if she wishes to and she could also be a tenent on the property after you turned 18 so that you could improve your credit 3. If you are living on your own and paying your bills the it does not matter if you are in school or not you are the head of your houshold |

the landlord can rent to any one they want (or not).
If your mother claims you, you are not the head of household. I'm not sure what that would have to do with this post. |

it's bull that you can't have a co-sign in a home/apt that your co-sign isn't residing at too.
it's also bull that you can't be HOH b/c you're a fulltime student.
I believe they just don't want to rent to you b/c they may think you won't be reliable for rent.

It's her property--her rules. If she is such a stickler at this point, do you really want to sign a binding contract with her?
Find another apartment! |

This all depends on the individual apartments rules. If it is their policy that they don't rent to full-time students and only allow co-signing if the co-signer lives there...then there is no way around that. Just try contacting other apartments, and you should be able to find one that rents to you. It would probably be easier to find one that is rented out by an individual landlord, rather than a management company, because they usually seem to be more lenient. |

You know what , school work is hard enough....Why do you think that you need to live on your own , right now ? It would put alot less stress in your life , if you finish college , before you move out ! It's alot harder to really concentrate on your school work , when you have to work & pay bills also . |

My mother in law co-signed for my sister in law and they don't live together.
It is not true that you can't be the head of household since you're a full time student. The person you spoke to probably doesn't want to deal with students since they are notoriously irresponsible with money. Good luck finding an apartment though sweetie! Keep looking!! |

some landlords do allow the parenrs to co sign because they are a student but your mom would be responsible for what happens in the apartment i co sign for someone like that before maybe its a state to state law. in fact parents do that alot when their kids are away at college and does not want to live in the dorms they want to be able to drive their cars the first year check the laws where you will be moving different landlords do different things!!! |

That is not true! She is taking advantage of you, tell her that you KNOW someone doesnt have to live with you to co-sign, thats rediculous, students do this ALL the time!
But, I forgot about the 18 thing, try and find another apartment somewhere else... |

They arent going to let you be head of household because you arent 18 yet. Im not sure about the whole co-signing issue. Different places have different policies. |

She owns the building, she can refuse to rent you an apartment for whatever reason she wants. As a full-time student she probably is worried you won't be able to pay your rent.
Look for on-campus housing. Many universities offer apartment-style residence halls. You can keep trying to look for a real apartment, but you'll probably run into the same problem anywhere, unless you want to live in a crappy apartment in a bad neighborhood where the landlord won't care. |

You must word your questions more intelligently if you expect a relevant answer.
Chances are that your inquiry into renting left an impression of a confused, flighty person, and therefore, unlikely to take on the adult responsibility of being the tenant of preference. |

There is no such thing as a co-signer for a non-resident on a rental agreement. Each resident must be a tenant.
You'd be better off renting an apartment with another college student or apply for on campus housing. |

I would say the initial issue is you are not 18, so you cannot be the head of household.
As for the other issue, that could simply be their own guideline, and as a landlord, it's there choice who they let co-sign or not.
Since you will be 18 when you ge the apartment, it's the landlord's calla s to what they want to do. 10 bucks an hour is not much, and since you have not rented before, and have no credit, I would not lease to you, but that is my choice.
I would also not allow a co-signer, nor do I ever. I wish you the best of luck, though. Like someone else here pointed out, I would advise you live on campus. |
