You adhere to the lease, I hope you have this clause in there -->
(a) JOINT AND SEVERAL TENANCY: If more than one person signs this lease as a Tenant, their obligations are joint and several. This means that each person is responsible not only for his or her individual obligations, but also for the obligations of all other Tenants. This includes paying rent and performing all other terms of this lease. A judgment entered against one or more Tenant(s) does not bar an action against the others. Each Tenant must initial this paragraph: (1) ______, (2) ______, (3) ______, (4) ______.

Do you remember when you qualified them if he made enough to cover the rent himself. He might be able to pay it on his own. Any new tenant needs to go through checks and qualify. Otherwise if he pays the rent and on time there's nothing to worry about, if he doesn't then when you evict, you put whom ever is on the lease on the paperwork, in this case both of them. --167.6.xxx.xx |

Tenants' personal lives are none of your concern. Rent paid on time, each month, IS your concern. If the one remaining in residence cannot afford, he can move out and pay you the damages allowed by lease/state law, usually equal to rent plus costs of cleaning and re-renting until unit is filled.
Hold them both liable for the full rent due and collect from whichever one you can get. And be sure to get the phrase "jointly and severally liable for all rents, fees, and money due under this lease" added to your rental agreement if not included already. --204.80.xxx.xx |

It's true their personal life is none of your concern, but do tell: did they present each other as their "fiancees" when you met them? --209.240.xxx.xx |

Not your problem at all. Don't let them make it your problem. Rent is due in full on or before the first of the month. If not, eviction will result. --65.54.xxx.xx |
