[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do NOT want three people on the lease. If one person doesn't pay, can you kick out the other two? When I considered it, I insisted one person (or actually the parent) sign the lease and take responsibility for sending me the check. Then the other people would have to send them their portion. Fortunately, I was always able to find another tenant option. [/quote] This is really dumb advice. You want all names on the lease so they have "joint and several" liability. Plus, it's much easier to evict with all names on the lease. With joint and several liability, all parties are responsible for paying the rent each month. So, if one person suddenly moves out, the other two tenants are still responsible for paying the entire rent amount. This protects you.[/quote]
