From the Forum – Guarantor on my lease? ______ please.

Guarantor on my lease? ______ please.

So, here’s the situation: I recently switched from a very underpaid post grad-school fellowship, where I was for the last 9 months, to a full-time job with a good salary. I have been living in a very small room in a group house, but am am now currently shopping around for new digs. I recently found a great 2-bedroom house which I would share with a roommate. Everything has been going smoothly in the application process until I got a message from the landlord asking if I would be able to have a guarantor. I find this kind of insulting since I’m now 29 and have 2 degrees and a good job, and I haven’t had to sign a lease with a guarantor since maybe college… if at all. THere was no application fee, so I’m assuming the landlord hasn’t pulled my credit report, which is excellent for someone my age.

So, this brings me to 2 questions: 1) Is this a red flag for about dealing with my soon-to-be landlord or more than they should be able to ask for? 2) Is there any other kind of financial assurance I can offer them; e.g., guaranteeing with property or something?

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
