Re: about shifting the room in US

I am a bit confused what you mean by "shifting" apartments. The written lease will govern what your husband is allowed to do. Your husband and his friend both signed a lease, but probably have no contract with each other. So whatever your husband can work out with the landlord should be okay.

Please feel free to give us a call.
