How to add a co-signer

Written by Luis S.

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

  1. Open the application.

  2. Click the three-dot menu at the top right.

  3. Select Add applicant.

  4. Choose Add co-signer.

  5. 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.
