[QUOTE="katya02, post: 203241, member: 2884"] I agree, and I think you're handling it great, Witz. It's hard to imagine the landlord renting a nice house to four young guys; what a recipe for disaster (sorry, young guys!). The credit check shouldn't go through ... but .... my difficult child got all the way to signing a lease on a nice apartment just before crashing and coming home to detox in May, and that should never have happened. So I'd just stand firm on not co-signing anything, advise re having four names on the lease, advise re the equipment they'll need to maintain the house - lawnmower! snow shovels! rakes! etc. etc.! (depending on climate), and let it be. Maybe a word about how if the lease goes south, it could be harder to rent something else, about how utilities add up and have to be in SOMEbody's name, not all four, so who will get stuck collecting from the others? - all those things that none of the four will be thinking of. Good luck and stand firm! [/QUOTE]
