Renter with no credit but a cosigner
I have a prospective renter who wants a 6 months lease but is willing to pay $150 over my asking price and a full months pet deposit in addition to the full months security deposit.
The problem is he has no credit score. Would you sign him if he got a cosigner with good credit?

I would not waste my time or effort unless I believed he was the last tenant on earth. When I screen any applicant that does not qualify I reject. My time is too valuable and there are many more fish in the sea to waste trying to make/help someone qualify. Don't allow applicants to make you work for them.
Move on.
