But, if he doesn’t pay it at all, it will negatively affect both his credit as well as his absentee roommate. I understand how it works when everyone pays, or nobody pays, but I appreciate the great explanation just the same. Now, if he got into the correct lease, he would be responsible for paying his share, and his dumbass roommate would responsible for his share. That way if Blazin pays, and the roommate doesn’t, it won’t hurt Blazin’s credit. He should check the lease. The logical reason for a landlord to have 2 signers, is because he/she has 2 people to pursue in the event of non-payment. The logical reason for a signer to want another signer, is to divide the fiscal responsbility, so that he/she isn’t stuck paying someone else’s rent. Bottom line…what does the lease say? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/need-advice-roommate-breaking-lease/192262)._
