Hi Kylee,
First of all, there is generally no such thing as a lease with no out-of-pocket initial expense... leases with no money down happen all the time. Let me explain: when you think of leasing you should substitute the word “rent” for “lease” and you'll have a better, more honest idea of what's happening. Just like when you rent anything, whether it’s an apartment or whatever, you pay the first month's rent in advance. The same theory applies to auto leasing, so every lease has the first month's payment due with lease inception unless otherwise stated somewhere.

People with exceptional credit histories are able to lease with only their first months payment all the time, people with marginal credit or poor credit or a limited credit history can have a very difficult time leasing. The reason for this is very simple, when you lease a car you are renting it the bank is the owner and at the end of the lease term you have the option of giving the car back to the owner or by for its lease and value now you are the owner you are entrusting somebody with your $30,000 car would want to make sure that person is is responsible making his payments but equally important to be responsible caring for your vehicle while he had it. You want to receive the card back in as of good shape as possible. People with exceptional credit are generally responsible in most of the other things they do as well, and they do tend to take care of other people's property responsibly as well.
It's difficult to lease a car with a cosigner because there is no magic box on a contract for cosigners to sign, they become co-applicants and co-owners and are jointly responsible for the payment, just like if the two of you were married. In those situations its usually the interest rate or money factor is driven by the persons credit score who will be driving the car.

A $200 per month lease payment is nearly impossible to get with no money down at lease inception. In order to obtain a lease you would have to show the bank both stability in your work and residence history as well as ability…. Which means if you don't have a job... And you don't have a trust fund or some other outside sources predictable future income then the bank will not lease you a car. One thing you may want to consider is a 36 month or 24 month lease that you pay entirely in advance.
