Re: Tenant vs Tenant

Assuming that you're referring to a lease, it's very unlikely that you could allow any additional persons to move into the leased premises without the landlord's knowledge and approval.

However, if you mean a mortgage or deed of trust rather then a lease (in reference to the names being on), then as a practical matter it would be up to you and the other owners to decide(including the issue of what to charge him).
