Overview
Add a co-signer to an application group when you need someone who will not live at the property but will guarantee the lease. This is available for RentEngine applications only.
Add a co-signer
Open the application.
Click the three-dot menu at the top right.
Select Add applicant.
Choose Add co-signer.
Fill in the following:
- Co-signer phone number
- First name
- Message (optional)
6. Click send.
The co-signer receives a text message with a link to the application.
What the co-signer sees
When the co-signer opens the link, they see two options:
I'm starting a new application
I'm joining as a co-applicant
If they were invited from inside an existing application group, the Group Code field is already filled in. They select I'm joining as a co-applicant and continue.
If they were not invited from an existing group, they must manually enter the group code or start a new application.
Important notes
Co-signers do not go through the same primary approval workflow on their own. They are attached to the main application group for screening and guarantor purposes.
The optional message is included in the text invitation and can include context or instructions for the co-signer.
Make sure the phone number is correct, as this is how the co-signer receives their application link.
