Remove name from lease by Robert (Id) on September 13, 2012 @12:33

We had three people move in a rental. One has moved out and wants her name removed from the lease. How do I do this, is there a form. I do not want to write a new lease as am having the current tenants evicted next time they are late with the payment. They are horrible tenants. The lady who moved was decent and just wants her name off.

She can't be off of it. She signed it and is responsible for everything that happens for the term of it.

It's just a contract. Get everybody who signed the original lease (including you) to sign an amendment removing the one individual from the lease.

Question is why would you? The more people who are on the lease the more pockets you can reach into if need be. What if she was the one paying more than less. What if after she leaves the rent is not paid. When you screened these people what was her income compared to the others. Can the others afford to live there without her?
