My grandmother cosinged my lease in January of 03 and since then I signed a new lease because my rent went up and she did not sign. Is she still responsable?

No, not if you signed a new lease instead of a renewal. The new lease stands on its own.

Im so sorry I email you I have never used this website. I have another question I just spoke to my landlord and asked for a copie of my new lease and he told me that their was no new lease that he just wrote on the old lease the new monthly payment is this leagal? And is my grandmother still liable if she didn't agree to the increase in rent?

I've merged your two threads. Please do not start a new thread for the same issue. All followups should be added to the thread using the Answer or Quick reply.

If you signed something, you should get a copy of what you signed. If the landlord amended the payment then you had to initial it at the least to make it legal. For your grandmother to still be liable you would both have had to initial it.

What State? Did you sign/initial the new lease? Or is this a State where renewal is automatic unless changed/cancelled in writing and you agreed verbally on a new rental amount?

I say she's not liable -
