Sigh. Sometimes you take a chance. Yes, I’ve signed for Kid and roommate. And they made roommate’s parent sign for for both too as well as both students signing. They get you six ways to Sunday on some of those leases. If that’s the way it’s done, and it’s the best way to go, you do it. Also had to take insurance out on a house that a bunch of them were renting. One of the kids was a “celebrity” kid and his parents had to do just as we all did if wanted in on the deal. Otherwise, find something else.

My one kid living in NYC, needed 3 months rent to move into an apartment. Roommate didn’t have the money though making s very good salary and the family was broke, single mother with a dad out of the picture with s new family. They had the credit score, job and income but not enough cash in hand, so we lent it to them. They just paid it back after a year. But it was taking a chance, and I don’t have high hopes they’ll get that security deposit back. This is not a bstudent dive but a nice apartment.

I think maybe other more palatable situations could have been found, but there was a time crunch and we needed to move along so we took the risk. Not saying I liked it.
