The apartment our younger one is renting with a roommate has only her name on the lease; the roommate’s lease is considered separate and handled by the complex.

My son lived in a place with this sort of lease during his last two years of college (except that it was a four-person apartment). It sounds good, but

(a) if someone left, the landlord had the right to put someone new in the available room if the current occupants didn’t provide a new roommate within a few weeks

(b) because of (a) and a realistic understanding that young women don’t like being forced to live with male strangers, all roommates had to be of the same gender.
