Dealing with roommates as a landlord

[Matt Holt]

I recently had a situation where roommates were not holding up their end of the bargain so the other roommate wanted them gone. The situation has since been resolved but I was wondering what the best way to handle roommates as a landlord. I screened and made all three sign the lease together.

Is it best to just let the roommates hash out their issues and just make it clear that I need a check no matter what?

Any suggestions for the future or past stories would be greatly appreciated!
