What rights and responsibilities do joint tenants have?
If you have a joint tenancy agreement, all the tenants have exactly the same rights and responsibilities. You are all equally responsible for paying the rent and keeping to the terms of your tenancy agreement. If you have disagreements, you are responsible for sorting them out between yourselves. Only in extreme cases will the landlord or anyone else get involved.
