Additional Renter

A tenant with an existing lease has approached me requesting to have an additional person move in and live in his two bedroom apartment.  I pay for water and heat so I said that I would agree to it provided I get an additional 15% rent.  The existing tenant is subsidized by SSI so I want to leave his lease as is.  I get my full rent, on time, every month.  What is the best way to set up the additional tenant to give me the maximum protection and leverage?
