Hi All,
I have the following situation in one of my apartments:
- Joe is the only person on the lease.
- 6 months ago his girl friend moved in to live with him.
- A month ago Joe was sent to jail for a year. His girl-friend still lives there and wants to stay.
- I plan to end his tenancy. I`m working on that. no problem here.
- his girl friend wants to continue paying me. I have no problem with her staying there.
However, obviously I can not sign a new Lease with her before ending the lease with Joe.
I planned to mention on the rent receipt I give her that she paid ON BEHLF OF JOE (because as mentioned he is the only person on the lease)
However, she insists I do NOT mention she paid on behalf of Joe, just her name. She said "otherwise, government will NOT pay me for rent!"
Should I just agree to her request and not mention Joe on the rent receipt?
THANKS.
