Just a minor issue I've been going through lately. My current girlfriend has lost her job. She currently has a job pending now, they just have to wait till her drug test results come in. She's not on any drugs so that shouldn't be an issue, but she's still unemployed nonetheless.
She has one month left on her current apartment lease, but she's had a sort of falling out with her room mate and wants to move out. She's already switched everything over in her room mate's name. They are on speaking terms so she is still living there until she get's an apartment.
She already found one at a great deal and wants to get it now before someone else takes it. The problem is she can't get it unless she can get a letter saying she has a job. Since this place hasn't gotten her results yet, they can't issue her a letter.
She has asked me to cosign her lease for her. This immediately has sent me red flags. Supposedly her test results will come in soon and she will have the job in less than a week, and as soon as she can prove employment, I can take my name off the lease. She has money for the first months rent so technically she has two months to find a job if for some reason this current thing falls through.
I still dont know about this. My inner instinct is telling this is a really bad Idea. In fact, reading everything I just wrote makes me feel like a dumbass for not even saying no immediately and even considering.
Am I just being paranoid? I think not.
