Landlord Question and Answer Forum

Forum / General Property Management / Multiple Tenants Lease
We just came through the eviction process, so this time I want to be covered in terms of our new lease. We have applicants for a property that are related, Aunt with 2 kids, her Nephew and his life partner (partner is a stay at home ). I have applications for all of them (because they are all 18+). If I was to grant them approval, how should the lease be set up? Are they all responsible as a group for the rent payments or is it divided? I'm just "what ifing" the situation.

RE: Multiple Tenants Lease
Add to lease - "It is expressly understood that this Agreement is between that Landlord and each signatory individually and severally responsible for performance of his/her/their obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of rent." This should make them All as well as Individually responsible for the terms of the lease.
