When you sign a lease with multiple tenants on the lease, you are all equally responsible for any aspect of your rent. Therefore if your roommate does not pay his portion of the rent, and you are responsible for the portion he doesn't pay. If this happens then you can be able to evict your roommate or have the landlord do so.

Some landlords allow you to be the main tenant on the lease and in essence be the landlord for your roommates. This is called subletting. Most apartment complexes do not allow this. But for the landlords that do allow it, it allows you to control your situation better: your roommates can pay you and then you give one check to your landlord. If your roommate doesn't pay you, you can evict him.

A lease is an agreement between all of you who are in the lease and your landlord. Therefore you are all equally responsible for what happens.

How do commercial leases differ from residential leases?

Commercial leases are generally locked up for a much longer term then residential leases, and it's much, much harder to break a commercial lease. One big difference between commercial leases and residential leases that a lot of people don't realize is that commercial leases are not subject to many of the consumer protection laws that residential leases are. Make sure you know what you're getting into before signing. Most commercial leases are NNN which require the lessee to pay all utilities, insurance, and property taxes. Most residential leases are on a Gross rental basis and do not directly pay NNN charges. Commercial Appraiser http://www.harriscompanyrec.com
