Unmarried couple wants to pay rent separately -NYC

[Lyle Cooper]

Each wants to pay their have separately.

Is there any legal reason not to agree to this?

[Tim Miller]

This is almost like renting by the room, all it takes is for one not to pay and the other one is going to say. "I paid my half" regardless of what the lease says.

We use an online payment system and we only allow one tenant to be responsible for signing up to make the monthly payments. They can figure out their own internal financial arrangements for themselves.
