I think you are making a big mistake, but you do as you wish. MOST LLs feel the more people signing a lease, the better. If rent doesn't get paid, or there are damages to your place, the more people LEGALLY responsible for the rent or damages, the better. If you ever have to go to court to evict anyone, you will find it much harder to evict the nephew, because you have NO lease with him.

Why not treat this situation as a learning experience for the nephew. He needs to learn that turning 18, and becoming an adult, brings legal responsibilities with it. What happens if the husband and wife are gone for 2 weeks this summer, and the nephew decides to have a couple of weekend parties, with maybe alcohol and MJ there? Teach the kid responsibilities------put him on the lease!

Thanks so much for your inputs, Garry! It makes sense on the legal responsibilities.
