Sue them both. Sue all tenants for eviction. Sue tenants and co-signer for monies due/compliance with lease.

Tenant/Co-Signer and Judgments ??? - Posted by Cognac

Hi,

I was hoping that someone could help me understand the
process of attaching a judgement to the co-signer in addition to the person who originally signed. I am a landlord and one of my tenants has defaulted on her lease and I plan to sue in eviction court. What I need to know is once I win the case how do I go after the co-signer too (the
tenants credit history was bad so I allowed a co-signer
on the lease). Must I file the eviction against the co-signer also or once I get the judgement can I garnish both tenant and co-signer ? (I’m Illinois).

Thanks!
