Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Multiple Signing of Rental Lease
When 3 tenants wish to rent an apartment together, how should they sign a lease so that if one of the tenants decides to leave, the other tenants won't be legally obligated to pay that person's part of the rent for the remainder of the lease agreement?

Re: Multiple Signing of Rental Lease
The landlord will not ususally do that. It is their lease that you need to sign, and your agreement among each other will have no affect on him.
