What happens if the boyfriend signs the application but the?
The lease is the legal document defining the relationship between the Landlord and Tenant. This legal document defines, among other things, who is the Landlord and who is the Tenant legally. One of the important parts of the lease is to legally inform the Landlord who will be legally responsible for, among other things, the rent payments. If the boyfriend does not sign the lease he has no legal responsibility for making the rent payments. The application is just presenting certain facts of the potential Tenant to the Landlord. The facts the Landlord can request from the potential Tenant are limited by certain legal limitations such as race, religion, etc.
