<prompt> Human: Recently I signed a rental contract for my first house ever. I would live here with my two best friends, one of whom is a student like me with government funding, and the other is an adult who cant work due to depression and illness. This person has no income and gets his money by the coins he finds on the streets basically.I am the only name on the legal contract, but I wanted to make a contract between us three just so I have some assurance that I will not be the one paying for all three of us.Now I have basically two questions: -what are things that are really important to put in this contract, things I shouldnt but probably will forget about?-How do I handle my income-less friend? Should I give him a period of say like, two months to come up with the money? What do I do when he cant pay? Im basically his only friend in this country, so just kicking him on the street will be very difficult. Thanks in advance!  <response>: Youre basically saying that 1 you are going to be legally responsible for X month; 2 youre counting on friends to pay you X 3 month; 3 you know one of your friends cant pay. I mean... What do you want us to say? Youre going to be paying for 23 of the rent. A contract is really only worth anything if you plan on suing if it is not fulfilled, and the other person is choosing not to fulfill rather than unable. If you and I had a contract saying I owe you 1 million, and I dont pay, and you sue me, guess what - youre getting less than 1 million because I dont have it. Thats the end of it. If youre the one whose name is on all the bills, only allow people to move in if they can pay.
