I am a student, do I need a co-signer?

Most students do apply with a co-signer but if you dont have one, you may apply on your own. We will run a credit check and verify your rental history (if applicable). Note: If applying with a cosigner, only the cosigners credit is checked, not yours.

How does my co-signer apply?

Begin your online application and on Step 4 (Additional Persons), enter your cosigners name and email address. An email will be sent to them asking them to complete their part of the application. Then, continue completing your application. Well get notified automatically once your cosigner has completed their part.
