interesting. perhaps these are decent, forthright good parents who are trying to educate their daughter in life's responsibilities. the parents offering their daughter as a signatory is telling. run background and credit. at that age there is no credit history but it may actually help the daughter build a good file if all turns out well. you'd have to be a real sleeze to let your kid take the fall for your tenancy deadbeat (speaking of parents now). but very little surprises me.

there is a story -- it may have been on here about a family who lived near the ball stadium. dad and his son (little jonny) were driving to a game on sunday and passing signs for people renting parking spaces on their lawns and driveways,....and a couple of lemonade stands run by adorable kids. Dad happened to know one of the parents of one of the lemonade stands, so he and jonnie stopped and bought some lemonade. Little jonnie finished his lemonade and said he wanted to have a lemonade stand too. Dad said 'we can do that son, if you like,....it'll be fun ! Next week, dad ran into the lemonade stand dad and laughing asked how much the kids made selling lemonade. Lemonade stand dad said 'not much',.....a zoning inspector on his way to the ball game stopped and shut the kids down, AND admonished them about sales tax AND health department issues.

Little jonnie's dad recounted this story to jonnie, ...and went on to explain life's issues, rules, the law, responsibilities, etc. this was a great opportunity to try to set one of the cornerstones of business to his young teenage son.

little jonnie got it !! and replied to dad,.....maybe lets rent parking spaces.

ya gotta love THAT story

I am the OP. How exactly did you arrive at this conclusion? I did not state this anywhere: "the parents offering their daughter as a signatory is telling." Huh?
