How would co-signing a rental lease for my son affect my credit score?

As long as your credit score is good, and you TRUST your son, then it shouldn't have an impact on your score.





I'm 26 yrs old. When I was fresh out of college with a first job, I had to have my parents co-sign me. But I was responsible and now I'm on my own.

Rentals do not show up on your credit unless you have not paid the rent and the landlord has filed for eviction against you.





If you son pays the rent on time and is a good tenant and does not owe the landlord when he leaves then there should be no effect (positive or negative) on your credit.How would co-signing a rental lease for my son affect my credit score?
The main concern, beyond will he pay, is your debt-to-income ratio. If you need credit for something later, the payment for that lease will be added to your own debt, perhaps putting you over the limit.
It won't unless he moves out owing money, doesn't pay or gets evicted. If he gets turned over for collections then they will come after you and it'll show on your credit.
