<prompt> Human: I am moving into an apartment with 3 other people soon and we have the lease signing coming up. The landlord just told us that only one person will be on the lease and will pay all of the rent, etc. with everyone paying that person backI trust the people that I will be living with and know that they will pay. Is there any benefit of putting my name on the lease such as credit score or renters history? Or am I better off letting someone else do it?  <response>: This is not normal, fyi. The person whose name on the list is taking a huge risk.Landlord is also exposing themself to lots of risk, unless for some reason they are not allowed to rent out that unit to 1 person
