I live with roommates and want to have someone else take over my spot on the lease.
If one roommate is vacating and having another person take over for them, this is called a 'roommate change'. It is up to the vacating tenant to find a person to take their spot and ALL the other roommates on the lease must approve the new tenant. A few good resources for finding a roommate are craigslist.org and Housing Helpers. The new tenant must fill out a rental application (found on our website under 'Contracts and Forms') and submit it to BPM. There is a $30.00 rental application fee per application submitted. The next step is making an appointment with a BPM agent to fill out the Roommate Change Document. All tenants on the lease including the new and vacating tenants must be present at the meeting in order to agree to the terms and sign the document. It is imperative that all roommate changes take place through BPM. If they are not done legally through BPM and we become aware of this at any time throughout the tenancy, there is a possibility that the tenant not on the lease could be evicted.
