Cosigning for 18+

[rajaraj]

I'm 19 years old and had signed a lease for an apartment off campus apartment in Riverside. My question is that part of the application requires a cosigner which I never got. However, when I asked the main office at the apartment if that voided my contract they said it didn't because I am over 18. I'm actually not living in Riverside anymore and am wondering if what they said is true and if so or if not what my options are. Thanks

I am not totally clear on what your question is... but no, a cosigner is not always required. Whether or not a cosigner is necessary is up to the landlord.

Are you trying to say that you want out of the lease that you signed, and the lack of a cosigner might void the lease?

You signed a contract at the age of 19, legal age to sign. You did not need a co-signer. You are obligated to the terms of that lease.
