Should an Aggie grad use a guarantor just to qualify for a more luxurious apartment?

Quick answer

Grant generally does not treat a guarantor as a tool for turning an uncomfortable budget into a luxury budget. A guarantor is most useful when qualification mechanics—limited credit history, timing or income rules—stand between the renter and an otherwise sensible apartment. The renter still needs a monthly cost that makes sense for real life.
