    Default Landlord, Tenant, Cosigner Legal Advice

    If the landlord evicts a tenant for a business space that was behind in rent and then sues the tenants and all cosigners within an agreement, what rights or actions can the cosigners take against the original tenant if said tenant was able to get their names dismissed from the lawsuit by settling with the owner?

    If I understand, the landlord sued the tenant and cosigners, the tenant settled the case such that it was dismissed against all cosigners, and now you want to sue the tenant even though you have suffered no out-of-pocket losses?

    Landlord sued an evicted tenant and cosigners, the evicted tenant settled the case but the landlord is still going after the cosigners for the remaining balance (unless said cosigners are able to settle). Can the cosigner go after the evicted tenant for monies paid to the landlord for rent unpaid by said e.tenant even though the e.tenant was able to settle and take their names only off this suit?
