So, none of the applicants can afford the place I am renting on his/her own and only single people applied. However, everyone of them stated that they will have a roommate to share the house and the cost with. If I was to sign the lease with one of them, who do I go into contract with? The applicant only? The applicant and the roommate?I f its both, are they responsible 50/50? How do I go about this?

I've picked my tenant and screened her roommate. I would like to sign the contract with the tenant only and use the Roommate Agreement addendum that specifies some legal obligations of both. Would that work? I really don't want to get involved in choosing my tenant's roommate; if she chooses someone and I am ok with that person and include this person's name on the addendum, would that suffice? I want my tenant to take responsibility for her choices; she is responsible to me for the entire rent. If her roommate does not pay her I really don't want to get involved.

Grace, You would want to sign a contract with all parties responsible for paying money. People not responsible would also need to at least be listed to help protect you and your property to the fullest.
