Anyone on the lease or that signed the lease is legally responsible for the rent, unless otherwise noted in the lease.
Not unless they've signed something legally binding. They can change their mind before moving in if the've not made a committment on paper. Only held responsible if they signed a lease. If nothing is signed, better hurry up and find another roomate.
No not unless you have an agreement that you had to pay the rent.
Morally, yes. Legally, it's less certain, and good luck getting it even if technically they are.
Without a lease, you dont legally have to pay anything. Who ever is on the lease is responsible for the rent...and is also responsible for dividing the shares of the rent between the roomates. Keep in mind though, that if you dont pay rent then the person on the lease can remove you at any time.
Not unless he or she signed the new lease.
No
No they can't, only people on the lease can reside. The roommate would have to sign a new lease.
Whoever signed the lease is contractually responsible for the rent. If you and the fiance signed, you're both responsible. If only he signed, only he is responsible. If only you signed, you're solely responsible.
If you signed a lease agreement.He can hold you responsible for the remainder of the lease.Unless you cancel the lease before you transfer.
Adding a roommate is considered a modification of your lease. It must be approved by the landlord, or the landlord must allow you to sublet. If neither will happen then yes, this is impossible.
no, because the lease-signer is a minor. Only adults can sign and be legally responsible for a lease.l
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.
