If the new tenants are 18 or older they should apply, you should screen and complete the appropriate roommate addendum. Treat them like any other tenant. The proper roommate addendum should reflect you adding 2 new occupants and should include language as such:
the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. All legal rights pursuant to the Rental Agreement, including return of any Damage or Security Deposit(s) are assigned to the Incoming Resident and remaining residents. Any apportionment of such deposits, or of prepaid rents, between Incoming Resident and Departing Resident or
remaining residents are solely to be resolved between them and Landlord has no responsibility for such apportionment. At the end of tenancy,
any amount owed will be the obligation of remaining residents; any amount refunded will be returned via one check payable to all remaining
residents.
2. In consideration of Owner/Agent’s acceptance of Incoming Resident, Incoming Resident hereby verifies receipt of copies of all rental agreements, addenda and notices to resident (such as Lead Paint Disclosure Notices, Property Condition Reports, etc.). Incoming Resident
recognizes that he/she is entering into an agreement which is retroactive to the original date of the Agreement. Incoming Resident further
recognizes that any refunds of deposits will be made subject to the original Property Condition Report between Owner/Agent and original
parties to the agreement.
3. Nothing herein shall be construed to imply that Owner/Agent will consent to any future change in residents.
4. Except as set forth herein, all terms and conditions of the Rental/Lease Agreement remain in full force and effect without amendment. Receipt
of a true copy of this addendum signed by all parties is hereby acknowledged.
In addition to the Departing Resident and Incoming Resident, this Addendum must be signed by all legal occupants of the Rental Unit.
