Renting an apartment

Postby denisrush » Wed Sep 22, 2010 2:23 am

Hello evryone,
My girlfriend and I are trying to rent an apartment. We both have bad credit but my father is agreeing to sign the lease. He feels nervous taking the responsibility so we want to figure out if the responsibility could be transferred on me since I would be the one who actually lives in the place.
This is only half of the problem. The apt. we are trying to get is very big so we must find other roommates, who would split the rent with us. Our idea is to find(on a government website) a subleasing form so that the other roommates would sign it and would be legitimately living with us. The question; legally, in what sense leasing is different than subleasing?
Thank you.

You are not "subleasing" you are trying to "roommate" or "apartment share". Do a search on those terms on this forum for some advice.
