Will boyfriends bad credit ruin our mortgage pre-approval?
I feel for ya girl. I’m in a very similar situation and I know for a fact that if his credit isn’t good, don’t put him on the lease. There’s nothing at all wrong with you putting your name down legally and adding him as an occupant. Then you get the extra income, you get to live together, and you’re not setting yourself up for a downfall. If for whatever reason things get sticky or don’t work out, you can find another tenant and you won’t be stuck dishing out a lot of assets for your man. It’s the smartest thing to do if you’re not married. And don’t let all the hard work you’ve put into your good credit get flushed down the drain by someone who didn’t find it a priority.
