-It's your property.
You set the rules! Attach a list of your rules to the lease agreement and have the tenant initial a copy for your files.
This will be invaluable if you end up in small claims court.
-Don't be afraid to enforce the lease agreement.
You can use a "Notice to comply with lease agreement" form to put your tenants on notice.
-All adults on the lease are responsible jointly and separately for the rent.
If one roommate moves out or looses income, the remaining tenant will be responsible.
I clearly explain the consequences and add this to an addendum as part of the lease agreement.
This is especially important with the boyfriend/girlfriend situation.
-Your lease agreement should state HOW MANY people will be occupying the unit.
