If rent goes into arrears then can take them both to small claims court so why limit means to collect. Often the one person may not have sufficient income for rent so rent arrears may occur. --147.194.xxx.xx |

NE and Robert have a good point.
However, I would agree to release one party from a lease IF that party was inclined to be a problem. AND IF the remaining party is inclined to be cooperative AND can fully qualify on his/her own.
This can only be accomplished if both of them are wanting to and will cooperate with you to make the transition easy - otherwise, leave them both on until the end of the lease.
Don't try to "get" someone to sign an agreement if they don't want to. That would be making someone else's problem your problem --70.160.xxx.xxx |

I've had many couples "kiss and make up". Then when they break up for the 100th time, the other spouse moves out and the person left in the rental was removed from the lease and I have NO CONTRACT with them and when I evict, I can get NO MONEY JUDGEMENT because we have no contract. It is far better to leave that person on the lease and have two responsible adults to go after if there's a problem.
How ever, if after several months the dust settles and they two are really going through a divorce and the x-tenant has a new rental of their own, then I would consider removing them from the lease... Of course if they are on a month-to-month tenancy, all the one party has to do is give me 30 days written notice. --47.155.xx.xxx |

En-light of the current situation where getting rid of a non-payer is going to be problematic, you might want to get rid of both of them.
Just based on my my experience going back to 1989, I can't explain this strange trend -but a trend just the same. The less qualified person of the group will be the one that stays. --24.101.xxx.xx |

I had this "problem" a few years ago on two different apartments.
The one apartment was just roommates where the one no longer wanted to live there and wanted to be off the lease. The other roommate was "fine" with it and I said "too bad, you are staying on the lease" ... the reasoning for me was what the others are saying above - it was a fact for me to ensure that both stayed on so I could ensure getting paid if I needed to be as they both were just barely making enough to be there alone but together "all was ok". The only "problem" I had was that the one that didn't want to be there never really moved out but refused to pay for anything. Again, not "my" problem except that the other roommate that wanted to stay couldn't afford EVERYTHING on their own. Kept asking me to do something about it ... I said the only thing I can do is to tell you not to pay me and I'll evict both of you. Outside of that - it's between the two of you ... I can't do anything. Eventually, the lease came up - the other roommate moved out and I re-wrote the lease.
The other one was more of a "he's damaging the property and my stuff" - he wants out and off the lease. With this one I agreed because it was a safety thing (for her and the child) and if I kept him on the lease then he has a right to be there and she didn't have anything to say or do about it (but could leave - let's not go there right now). The other thing was that it was HER that made them be able to move in - not him (she made the money). So yeah, I went in, changed the locks and had her sign a new lease without him on it.
So although I agree with some indicating not to change the lease you have to look at it with ALL interests (yours and theirs). If it makes sense for you and them ... then just do it. If it doesn't then just tell them "look either you all stay on an I don't care who is here between the two of you or you both can leave and we'll just severe all ties".
It's YOUR choice ... try to make the right one. --67.242.xx.xx |

If you let one of the tenants off the lease, be sure to address the security deposit — is he/she giving up all claims to it? --98.182.xxx.xxx |
