If I have a co-signer on an apartment, and they don't live with me, do they have the power to kick me out of that apartment on the grounds they are pissed at me?

A co-signer is someone who guarantees that payment will be made, if the primary signer defaults on the contract. If you are both on the lease, you both may have the right of access to the apartment. If it is a true co-signer situation the co-signer does not even have that right!. Look at yout lease and see if the co-signer has access rights.
If you are not paying the rent, the co-signer can sue you for the money that they have to pay, but they can not kick you out just because they are mad at you.

co-signer is someone who guarentee you pay the portion and they are equally as responsible for the payment if the other defaults. You are both equal, so if they are "mad" at you they cannot simply kick you out. IF one did not pay their portion you would both be in default for non payment. IT would be up to the other to take u to court for non payment of your portion of the rent.
