Questions about co-signing?

Question

OK so my relative is going to co-sign my apartment rent/lease form. and today she just sent it in the the landlord at around 1 hour ago, but the landlord viewed another person who was interested in the apartment that im filling out the form as well, and the person took a form and hasnt turned it in to the landlord yet, so what are the percentages of the landlord accepting and giving me the apartment when he has a person lined up behind me who has better income (no co-signing)? other suggestions? How long does it take for the landlord to view your application?

Answer 1

Any landlord would rather have a tenant with sufficient income and good credit than one who requires a co-signer.  The landlord will probably wait and see whether the other person submits the application.
