Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Joey may hold Charlie responsible for the entire rent, even though Violet moved out, because Joey has complete responsibility to pay the rent. If two or more persons are co-tenants, their liability under the lease is joint and several. This means that each co-tenant has complete responsibility-not just partial responsibility-for performing the tenants' duties under the lease.
