ucsc_ucla dad…I still find it ODD that we didn’t have to cosign DDs lease in CA. And neither did the rest of the parents of the kids in her house. We did NOT put six months rent into her bank account and she does not earn enough money to cover her costs. BUT I guess this works for her landlord…who apparently owns all the houses on her cul de sac and is a VERY good landlord (from what we know…kids are dying to get into these houses because they are convenient to the campus, and VERY well maintained). I guess we hit it lucky.

We DID cosign for DS, in what I would consider to be substandard student housing. BUT it was VERY convenient to his campus.
