Joint and Several Liability of the Tenant


This clause simply gives the Landlord two options in the event that more than one Tenant signs the Lease Agreement. In such an instance, should Rental not be paid, the Landlord has the option to either take action against one of the Tenants for the full amount, or both of the Tenants together in whatever ratios he deems appropriate.  This clause means that the Landlord is not obliged to split the arrear Rental between the parties in equal proportions, which is particularly important when it becomes obvious that one of the Tenants is experiencing financial difficulty.
