Adding a resident, existing lease

[Mark Jones]

I've done this in the past but don't know if I did it right. I have an existing tenant that wants to add a new roommate to their current lease. I don't have a problem with this, I already ran a background check and everything looks good. What's the best way to do the paperwork?

I think previously I had the new resident sign a new lease and had an addendum that stated it was being made part of the current tenants lease to add them as an additional resident and had both the residents sign it. Is there a better way?
