Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I have 2 tenants (bf and gf) and they're splitting up now - the original 1 year lease is satisfied and I have the lease convert to monthly after the first year. She is moving out, but he wants to stay - and he can afford it:
Problem is that it's a joint lease... should I do the following:
1. refund the deposit to both - and have him repay for a new lease (removing her name)
2. no deposit refund since he's staying in the house
3. ??
ideas?

RE: 2 tenants - joint lease, one moving out
I believe in fresh starts, so I would go with option one. I feel that gives you the opportunity to sign a new lease with new agreements based on one person. Some would do option two because it is a time saver but it would be unfair for the girlfriend who also paid the deposit. Good luck!
