<prompt> Human: My mom is almost done with her divorce. She has a support order for about 5kmonth. She is trying to rent a house for 1,100month. The problem is her credit has been killed because of her ex husband. I wouldnt say she is the best with her money but I have never known her to not pay rent even before she married this guy.I am thinking about the option of co-signing on the lease so that the landlord feels some security. What would be the risks here? Are there any other options to help her out?  <response>: This risk is they you are entirely responsible for all payments for the lease agreement.
