What are my options for a lease with my girlfriend when she failed the credit check?

Thursday

My girlfriend and I are getting an apartment together. She failed her credit application and thus has to go on the lease as an occupant. I passed my check with flying colors and such we are getting the apartment.

I would like to safeguard myself should something go sour in the relationship. Is there anythign I can do so as to protect myself? I have the money to cover the rent should someting go wrong but I would like to avoid that with a lease type document.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure she gives YOU a deposit in case she cuts out of the apt and your left with the bills and rent. Good idea to always protect yourself.

    You can type up a joint agreement stating that though she did not meet the credit requirements, she is still a renter and as such has equal rights and responsibilities to the agreement. Have it notarized and file a copy somewhere where only you know where it is!

    You are a tight ass. You suppose to pay the rent but if she helps its a bonus. Why is she with your broke as* duuude. Is she fat? Are you gonna pay for S*ex? Break up now and safe her some drama later. You are not a joy to live with. This is a girl you love and committed to and she is on the lease yet you are worried about what duuude? Looser.,
