Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

My son's girfriend insists on him being put as an occupant (quoting his SSN) in her lease agreement. Does that carry legal and financial responsibility? He is 21 and still living at home and going to university. As such he is included in our household's insurance and tax forms. If he is being listed as occupant under a different address does that mean we will have to take him off our insurance and tax forms?
