I got away with paying my entire lease up front.. Or just simply go to another complex..

wow , i was in the same boat, i had to get a co-signer also. I had to get one because my credit wasnt good enough. But they will also require a co-signer if you fail to prove 3 times the market value of an apartment. But your co-signer has to make 4 times the market value. Like my rent on my apartment was 540 a month but the market value was 740. I did end up finding a co-signer but i wouldnt recommend it. IF I were you i woudl just find an apartment that will approve you without a co-signer. Having a co-signer is stressful. If you mess up you not only mess up your name but you co-signers name also. To me that just put another heavy weight on my shoulder. I was lucky to live out my lease and move on alone (with out a co-signer) There are plenty of apartments that will approve you. Also another thing i went with the co-signer because the apartments look really, really nice but it ended up being worse than what i bargained for , no parking spaces on weekends, car broke into, loud music, rude managers.......Get your own place and good luck!!

You can ask if he'll agree if you pay several months upfront.
