<prompt> Human: Hi PF, I currently am in a lease with 2 others in a 4 bedroom townhouse. We began our lease in August and it runs through August 16. We have a friend that is interested in renting our 4th bedroom but we dont want to violate or do anything without consulting the homeowner. What would be the best way to present this to the homeowner?The way we are looking at it is that the owner will still receive his money just from 4 people rather than 3.  <response>: The landlord may not be interested in adding another person to the lease, as it adds more of a hassle for him to collect 4 checks instead of 3. You may have to sublet to the 4th person and one of you collect his rent and still have only 3 people pay the landlord.Just talk to him. You should be able to work something out.
