applying
A guarantor signs for the lease financially without living in the home.
A guarantor is required for applicants who are both under 21 and a Traditional Student. A Traditional Student is under 25 and enrolled full-time as an undergraduate directly from high school or within one year of it. A Traditional Student under 21 may pay a double deposit instead of having a guarantor. A Traditional Student 21 or older with little income or credit may use a guarantor.
If your guarantor is going to live in the home, they are a tenant rather than a guarantor and must be on the lease.
A guarantor is not always the only option. A Traditional Student under 21 may pay a double deposit instead. In some cases an increased security deposit is an option too.
