If I have a co-signer for renting an apartment, is it necessary for the prospective apartment management to seek consent from the previous apartment management before granting the lease. A past notice eviction in 2001 was dismissed since I paid the balance due. I am currently homeless due to a sheriff lock-out since I had not received child support in three months and, while I paid the rent, the management tacked on legal and late fees to an amount that I could not pay. The prospective apartment management is refusing to grant the lease until they contact the previous apartmant management for the previous management to give "permission" to the prospective management to rent the apartment to me. My co-signer agreed to co-sign because the prospective apartment management told me that a cosigner would bypass the contacting of the previous management. Now they are changing their story and are holding up the process until they contact the precious management. What recourse do I have?
