I entered into a one-year lease with a couple, but they have since split up and one person remains. He wants to remove her name from the lease because she is no longer living there. I prefer both names on the lease. Am I obligated to consent?

When there are two people named on a lease, no changes can be made unless all parties are in agreement. You are not obligated to remove one of the tenant’s names from the lease even if one of the tenants is requesting it.
