Whose name goes on the lease?
My husband bought a rental property in his name only and we now have an approved applicant ready to sign a lease. I did the tenant screening and will be the main point of contact for the tenant i.e. serve as the property manager. Should my name be on the lease or should the lease list my husband as the landlord even though he intends to have little to no contact with the tenant? If he goes on the lease as the landlord, I'm concerned it will undermine my position with tenants.
Thanks in advance for your help!
