<prompt> Human: Title says it all. Thanks in advance for advice!Im in Somerville, MA if that matters and my landlord said I could sublet - he doesnt care as long as he gets one check each month.Im trying to figure out what makes most sense for me personally.  <response>: Under theories of joint and several liability, even if you sign the lease with your roommates, each roommate is still 100 liable unless the lease says specifically to the contrary. For example, lets say there is a default and landlord comes after tenants for unpaid rent and one of your roommates files for bankruptcy. Landlord will not be able to collect from the bankrupt roommate but can go after the other tenants to pay it.
